Best/ most reliable/ cheapest TS3 Hosting? (Need advice)

Hi all,

Just wondering, what is the best/ cheapest/ most reliable TeamSpeak 3 hosting service that you would recommend for 25 slots. Preferably for a year's hosting.

Thanks!

Ramnode $15 a year for the 128mb VPS. I run a 32 person server off it just fine. The whole server and teamspeak uses less than 10mb of ram.
 
Oh nice! Thanks for the replies guys, I've been hosting a server locally on my machine for some time now, perhaps a VPS is the best idea. Are those the only VPS services that you would recommend?
 
SSDVPS have been great for me, and doubled my RAM at some point for free (I'm getting 2GB for something like $4.50/mo): but their smallest package is a little more than you probably need ($24/year for 256MB, and as Scotty said you should be fine with 128MB)

I've not tried them so can't recommend them personally, but there's a stupidly cheap $5/yr 128MB VPS here, which might be worth a punt if you just want to try it out and see whether it's something that works for you. Use your own domain rather than an IP address and you can change hosts within about 24 hours if you have issues

Will it cost a lot for a domain? Sorry I'm not very good with this networking stuff :3 Also thank you very much for your recommendation.
 
If your not worried about being professional you could point a no-ip.org address at the IP for free. Although i think you have to log into their site every couple of months to keep it active or something like that. But you could change the IP it points too whenever you wanted.

Oh yeah that's a point! I forgot about no-ip. Thanks!
 
I have a question, what's the difference between OpenVZ and KVM in terms of hosting a teamspeak 3 server remotely?

From RamNode's FAQ

What is the difference between KVM and OpenVZ?



KVM is true virtualization where the VPS operates as its own server, independently of the host node. OpenVZ is a container style of virtualization which relies on the host node's kernel. KVM has no restrictions in terms of functionality, but it has more overhead than OpenVZ. OpenVZ is constrained by the host node kernel, but it has less overhead in the containers themselves. KVM is generally more stable than OpenVZ.

KVM is not a dedicated environment. Both virtualizations share host CPU and network port among all VPSs.

So for a TS server of a few friends or a clan i dont think it really matters
 
You could block the port with ip tables if you wanted no one to be able to access it

replace 10011 with the ts3 telnet port number

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 10011 -j DROP

i think 10011 is the default port?

Remember adding this line you wont be able to telnet to the TS server either from outside the box.

You should be able too yes, but if not you could always remove the rule

sudo /sbin/iptables-save to save the change you made after a reboot

i think its;

iptables -L

find the rule's number

then iptables -d input number
 
Well localhost doesn't work, but then I have no need to get into it now that it's set up. I've got admin rights on the three main computers I use so I can do any changes I need to via the application. Then re-open the port should I lock myself out. :)

Thanks.
 
You could change it to say this

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 10011 -s 127.0.0.1 -j ALLOW
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 10011 -j DROP

I think that would work as the accept comes first and then everything else gets dropped.
 
Wouldn't allow iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 10011 -s 127.0.0.1 -j ALLOW.

Not much of an issue to ssh in and re-enable it if needed anyway, thanks.
