Looking for some recommendations for a Teamspeak hosting company. Currently have one but it seems their server wants to shutdown during Friday or Saturday night gaming sessions for about 10 minutes and that is becoming very annoying.
 
Would you consider a Vent server rather than teamspeak? I don't know how good teamspeak has been lately, as it was pretty pathetic when i was looking into it, but vent has always been rock solid for me.
 
Actually Teamspeak 3 has really been improved over version 2 in how it works and in voip quality, there is no lag for our purposes. I would rather stick with TS3 since everyone is familiar with it.
 
team speak and vent are both literally shit when compared to the ultimate greatness of mumble.

Mumble is the cheapest, the fastest, and the highest quality
 
How to find a Teamspeak host: Type Teamspeak into Google. Look for a company that offers Teamspeak 3 at a server location that is close to your users, buy the service.

Pretty much all commercial voice comm host are the same once you pick on that offers multiple servers and international locations. The prices are basically all the same as well if you don't count a couple pennies difference per slot.

re: Mumble, stay away from it if you need a lot of slots, works fine for 10 slots etc (highest quality is subjective at best since quality depends on codec used settings, etc. etc.)
 
Check out TypeFrag, never had an issue with them.

Everyone uses Mumble these days fyi....free and open source ftw!
 
I use ZebGames for my vent server, but they do provide TS servers too. I assume the quality and support would be similar since they are the same company. So far no problems and Ive been using them a little over a year.

yup swapped WoW guild over to mumble a while ago. Took a bit for everyone to get used to something brand new, but we like it.

Wow I'm suprised you got your guild to change to anything other than vent. Typically wow people look at you as if your nuts if you try to get them to use anything other than vent. It's seriously funny.
 
If you're willing to give Mumble a try (I like it better than Teamspeak3, which I like better than Ventrilo), I have a referral link to my provider, which allows you to have a 50 slot server for $9 month to month, which is just about unheard of. Most other places are much more expensive, especially month to month.

Use: REDACTED

and you'll lock in those prices as well! The staff is top notch too!

Yup, I brought it up with the guild and there was an amazing amount of resistance :p
 
the latency (and quality) on mumble is seriously impressive.

i like when i can hear myself coming through someone else's setup in borderline real time. the latency is incredibly tiny compared to either ts or vent where there's an actual noticeable delay in it just going one way let alone bouncing back at you over someone else.
 
Ok so I've been using ts and vent for years but I have to admit you guys have me interested in this mumble thing. So, what makes this worth switching to if I'm happy as a clam with ts 3? Seriously much better codecs or what? Why should I change? Sell me lol.

Pretty sure referral links are a bannable offense according to the rules:
"(27) Referral or commissioned type links are not allowed in our forums. Posting these is a bannable offense."

Just to reiterate though, the reason Mumble is less expensive is because the providers do not have to pay for it. Buyers should take care to test services to find out for themselves whether they like the service before locking into long term contracts.

Either that rule is ridiculous, or you're not properly using it in this case.
1. Someone asked for a good TS host.
2. Someone else responded with a host that they use personally

It's not like the guy was trying to sell his privately hosted servers or even stake a commission in that company by letting someone else know they exist and have good service.
 
Sorry I even asked now, I was only looking for names of hosting companies that people have had good service with. I did not want people getting on each other about violating forum rules.
The information that some have passed on is helpful and will suffice.

Well if I helped then sweet. But for some reason, no matter the topic, it always goes off topic.. Alls it takes is one person to derail a topic as well as taking it upon themselves to do moderators and admins work.

I was with Velocity for awhile, and they had great Customer support as well as super good up time. BUT it looks like they only host mumble servers now.

I have also herd good things about Art of War Central.
 
The reason I included that link is because it should enable those that sign up though it to lock in low month-to-month promotional pricing, with no contracts. My understanding for the rule was for pyramid-scheme referrals so we don't have eleventy billion "Click here and help me get a free iPhone" deals, as opposed to something that directly provides a benefit to those who click it. I'll remove it just in case. If anyone would like the link or isn't getting the promo-pricing of $8.95 month-to-month, PM me and I'll try to help.

In any case, Sabrienix is the name of the hosting provider (easily googled) and I've had a great experience with them.

If anyone would like to "Try Out" a Sabrienix Mumble server with their guild, I'd be willing to let someone take mine for a spin. I have 50 slots available.
 
If someone aks for a site or sites for a particular product/service theres no reason not to link it. Otherwise what's the point in asking? Common sense ftw. Keep the link up please.
