Should you request a different server to install 3CX if the server also hosts the internal DNS server?

Requesting a different server to install 3CX when the server also hosts the internal DNS server is advisable due to potential conflicts and performance issues. The 3CX system relies heavily on its services being uninterrupted and dedicated to optimizing call handling and communication functionalities. If the server is sharing resources with the DNS server, it could lead to latency or downtime in both systems, especially under heavier loads.

Having dedicated hardware for 3CX ensures that it can operate without competing for resources, such as CPU, memory, and bandwidth. This dedicated environment is essential for maintaining the quality of service and reliability expected in VoIP communications. Thus, having a separate server for 3CX installation enhances the overall stability and performance, ensuring that both the communications platform and DNS services can function optimally without risking interference or degradation of service.
