Anyone who has looked into renting a gaming server such as a Minecraft server knows that many providers often offer the option of additionally renting a TeamSpeak server. However, in order to enjoy maximum freedom in the administration of the VoIP software, it is recommended that you host the TeamSpeak server yourself. For this you basically have two options:
- You host the TeamSpeak server on your own PC.
- You host the TeamSpeak server software in a provider’s data center.
If you run the TeamSpeak server on your own PC, you enjoy the advantage of not having to pay additional costs for renting external server resources. In this case, however, TeamSpeak is only available to all users when you have your device turned on. So if you want the server to be available around the clock, you cannot shut down your PC.
Then there is the fact that a stable Internet connection is absolutely essential for smooth conversations and chats, with broadband requirements increasing with the number of active users. This is where external providers, whose servers have excellent connections to the Internet, are especially impressive. Especially if you want to join the TS server and play on your PC at the same time, it is recommended to use external provider resources.
