On-Premise at Northpoint:
Install 3CX on a physical appliance in the Northpoint data centre in Barbados.

On-Premise at Your Location:
Install 3CX on a physical appliance at one of your sites.

Northpoint can provide deployment services for both options.
How do you want 3CX to be deployed?
System FQDN
3CX requires a fully resolvable FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) and a matching SSL certificate, to work seamlessly in and out of the office.

You can choose a FQDN and we will set this up for you.

IMPORTANT: the FQDN/subdomain you choose is linked to your license key and cannot be changed or modified without reinstalling the entire system.
I would like to use my own FQDN.
External Name (First Option)
The is the first part of the domain/sub domain name part of the FQDN. It could be your business name or abbreviated business name e.g. 'northpoint' or 'npoint'
External Name (2nd Option)
e.g. northpoint2
External Name (3rd Option)
e.g. northpoint3
Desired 3CX TLD
Your 3CX TLD will form the second part of your domain name e.g. mycompany.3cx.co
N.B. If you would like to use your own FQDN, we will contact you with the requirements to set that up. Please note you will need a signed matching SSL certificate from a well-known certificate authority for installation on the server, and that you will need to manage the domain and SSL certificate renewals on your own.
