FreePBX VPS Setup, VoIP.ms Integration

I need a fresh VPS management server spun up and configured from scratch, then have FreePBX installed, fully secured and connected to my VoIP.ms account. The VPS itself is not yet provisioned, so I will rely on you to recommend the most appropriate OS—CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu—explain why, and then handle the entire build.

I do have a few custom requirements inside FreePBX (not a plain-vanilla install), so once the basic stack is running I will share the detailed dial-plan tweaks, trunk settings and any extra modules I need.

Key deliverables:
• Provision and harden the VPS with your recommended Linux distro
• Install the latest stable FreePBX and Asterisk
• Configure trunks, routes and SIP credentials for VoIP.ms so calls in/out work straight away
• Apply my specific FreePBX settings once I provide them
• Supply root/GUI credentials plus a brief hand-off document outlining what you did and how to update the system in future

Please factor in standard security best practices (firewall, fail2ban, SSL on the admin portal, strong passwords). If you’ve done similar VoIP.ms integrations before, let me know—speed and reliability are important, and I’d like the whole job completed promptly once we start.
