Separate instance

[Avital NDSN]

Hello everyone,

Is that possible to have more than one 3cx instance on one server?

I mean, as for now we have Instance1 in the location : C:\ProgramData\3CX
In this instance1 we have all the data for the extensions, fax...
Can we have another independent instance2 for example?

Sorry if the question is confusing, the 3CX is new for us

Thank you!

Not as standard no, if you try and install a second it will prompt you to remove the first.

What you want is/was the multi-tenant which was available in previous versions but not any longer.
This was replaced with using multi instances on a platform provider: AWS, Google etc

Thank you for the fast answer @eddv123

We have our own cloud platform, so it's our servers and resources.
It means we must provide a separate host for each company?

Why not Virtulize in that case - this is supported:

Hello @Avital NDSN

You can use virtualisation to have multiple instances on one server you will however need one public IP for each 3CX instance you host.
