If it’s naked VOIP (Callcentric, Flowroute, etc) then there is a slight recovery fee.

If you are using a VOIP service that includes phones and such, then it will be taxed for 911, Universal Access, State Utils, Etc.

Proxmox simplifies storage, media, resource sharing, ZFS, Clustering, and Management.

It supports modern storage protocols so offloading your storage to a NAS is super easy.

Couldn’t you roll your own peertube and stream videos using their video protocols rather than transcoding?
