Teamspeak Server Hosting

[Raven]

I understand that because I'm on a shared server I cannot run a teamspeak server with my account... so... due to the fact that changing the account to what I would need is a bit out of my price range is there anyone here that might be able to provide me with hosting or suggestions on other options?

[Vin DSL]

Interesting! Maybe JagPC should look into this...

This isn't a smartass question... How much would YOU be willing to pay, in order to run a Teamspeak Server?

Maybe Jaguar could come up with an enhanced level of shared service, with relaxed rules and so forth, priced somewhere between X5 and VPS, or whatever -- let's say, double the X5 price. Get my drift?

Well, Jag does have a 'tiny' VPS at that price range (19.95), though it isn't advertised here on their own site.

I doubt they can do anything like that in a shared environment or they would already be doing it on the SDX plans. I suppose that in such an environment it's just to hard to ensure stability and security as well as share resources fairly. -> Try it and the account would probably have to cost (at least) the same as the $39.95 'real' VPS because of the attention it would need..

As for suggestions: aren't there some specific teamspeak hosts out there that give you an X amount of access to a teamspeak server for an X amount of money? I think $5-$10/month gets you a spot for your team on one of those.

You could run it on our discovery vps plan for $19.95 month. If you rally enough support from some others to justify a teamspeak hosting chat we can certainly sell you a chat channel on a teamspeak server we setup. We're all gamers here so we are familiar with teamspeak but becuase its more of a gamer thing we havent given any thought to hosting a teamspeak paid service.

Or

Lease a vps from us and install teamspeak on it then you go and sell some channels yourself, turn it into a business.

Hey Jag, where is the info on this discovery VPS plan? I had a look in the VPS area and I didn't see any information on it. The price you quoted seems fair to me, as it is only an additional $10 or so from the Gigadeal plan I'm on now, so I'd like to look into this more.

What you suggested Wim is a good price range for me and what I'd be looking for. I just don't know where to turn specifically. I mean I'd rather it be with JaguarPC if I can because I'm familiar and happy with the service here. In the end I'd just rather give them the money if I can!

I dont think it is offered anymore, it was a special into offer when they got in to VPS

[Gwaihir]

I've never seen it offered here on their own site but only in advertisements on webhostingtalk. I suppose you could still get it, or Jag himself wouldn't be confirming it out here. So, I'd either look up those advertisements or drop a mail to sales mentioning this.

it was in the ads on WHT but it was also in the order Form when you sign up

I checked that before I posted and it has been removed from the Order form

[Gwaihir]

Interesting. I haven't seen it in the order form here. I did check at WHT later and though the special posted there is no longer valid by the dates given there, the URL still gives a version of the order form that offers it. Anyway, I don't think Jag will be dangling it in front of this guy's nose here and then refuse it when he wants to sign up. So where (else) it is / isn't offered doesn't matter all that much.

I am continuing to wonder though if you can really run an application like that successfully with so little guaranteed memory. I am afraid Teamspeak will simply crash when the server (the machine as a whole) has a busy moment that forces the VPS back to its guaranteed allocation.

That is a very real possiblity

I dont know enough about teamSpeak to really give soild advice though

[Raven]

I'd be needing about 50 people online at once to run end-game World of Warcraft material (40 man raids plus the random extras). That is at most though. I've got a couple people that I'm sure could handle setting up the server and configuration for TeamSpeak though if Jag could do it, hey why not?! I think I'll open a ticket about this and see what the turnout is.
