TS3 Server, Which one to rent?

[SerDakota]

So I run an FC and nearly everyone would like a voice system so I have been thinking on renting a TS3 server (or is mumble better?)

Can anyone suggest who is a good company to rent through? There are a lot of options and I've never done this before so I'm kinda lost......Thanks

With Guildwork, you get a free Mumble, though the sound quality on a free plan is limited. Can't say much about TS3 when my FC has a self-hosted solution by me.

My free company uses enjinboard, a site hoster, which comes with a discounted ts3. It's very cheap to maintain, so much we already paid for the first year. I would highly recommend ts3 over mumble personally, as I found the customization and sound quality to be superior over the other.

I just have a TS server running on my computer. My bandwidth is enough for my coil group, and we are the only ones who use it. I'm sure that you could have up to about 20 people on before the connection starts to go to hell. my first fc had it hosted on our fc leaders pc, but we started running into issues when all 3 coil groups and a few extras were on at once.

So if your fc is rather small, you may not have to pay for one.

If you're running your own server, it also means that if you turn off your computer, you'll turn off the connection to its ts3. Just throwing that out there

Also using Enjin's EU TS servers that come with the site. So far so good. I'm sure there are cheaper options, though. Only using it because it's convenient.
