[asterisk-biz] Doesn anyone use Godaddy's dedicated server with Asterisk

[Mike Hammett]

Then stay away from those VPS's...  My internal VPS servers let me do 
whatever I want.  I have an open source one and have used 2 freeware ones 
with no problem doing what I want when i want to do it (other than setting 
up drivers for things on the host...  that gets difficult).
