I did a forum search that turned up squat for this, so I'm asking for some help on this. I want to set-up a Ventrilo server, can anyone recommend a good hosting service?
 
Hey guys, while we're on the topic are there any who host a teamspeak/ventrilo server for their WoW guild themselves? $15-30 a month is a lot, after all... what kind of bandwidth up would someone need to host a 40-50 person server with a low or mid quality codec?

With Ventrillo you can only host 5 slot servers yourself, and to my knowledge it's impossible to do anymore yourself without being a full on reseller do to the way they do their licensing.

I believe that would be possible with Teamspeak however..

Another option is to set up a paypal account and post it in your guild forums (sticky) and have guildies donate to you (or whoever is paying).
 
Martin,

I think I still have that vent servier up. I know I'm still paying $10 a month for it. Oooppsss.

Unless you have a spare server around on a 1meg+ pipe or know someone that does 15 -30$ is cheap. That's $1 donation from everyone every other month.

Been using them for my WoW guild, cheap and reliable with speex codec so that Mac users can use it as well. Very easy to setup.

I went with Gaming Zen, the first month is free and it was $7.00/month for a 20 slot server. Exactly what I was looking for. The server is already up and running.

Yea it was exactly what I wanted too, no channel limitations nothing, you pay the money its up in seconds flat, ive been using mine for while no downtime at all so far.
 
I use darkstar communications as well. Have been for 2 years now. Never had a problem and they are reliable.
 
I've used nrgservers.net, $10 for 50 person high quality codec.. no real problems with them.. they also have a ghetto web interface thing where if someone tries to ban you (the admin) you can undo it really easily.

edge3.nrgservers.net port 3501 if you wanted to try it out.. I plan on cancelling it in the next month or so as I don't use it right now. I bought it for my guild when I played wow.. but that was about 5-6 months ago and now random public people use it.

I've played for numerous CS teams on http://www.nationvoice.com. I'd say it was pretty awesome.

I'm on NationVoice as well. I only have a 10 slot server to play World of Warcraft and Everquest 2 with real life friends. I'm very happy with the pricing, uptime, latency, and sound quality provided by them. :)
