is there something like a "VoIP protocol"? I assume this is not the case and should be clarified.

since it'd be "Voice over IP" and IP stands for Internet Protocol, that's obviously not the case. MardukZero 18:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC) true that

-- not true. Although IP stands for Internet Protocol, that doesn't mean that there can't be a protocol that -uses- the internet protocol. Anyway, VoIP is the accepted name. If you're talking about the protocol for VoIP, which exists, it's perfectly acceptable to refer to it as the VoIP protocol, regardless what the acronym originally means.


-- Alternative and cheaper option to renting ventrilo servers --

I'm in a clan/guild with approx 250 members. Now .. I'd like to ask if there is any way Ventrilo can compete with teamspeak ( http://www.goteamspeak.com ) and renting a server to run it ?

It was SO much cheaper for me to use teamspeak and their free usage to non profit organisations (ie. clans and guilds etc), rent a server to host it and have no restriction on the server slots... breakdown of the prices for this

teamspeak server (free) + virtual server ( http://www.budgetdedicated.com ) - 17euro a month (this is including network traffic at .5euro a GB)

compare this to the price example for renting a ventrilo server ...

10 Slots - £7 UK (10 euro) 20 Slots - £12 UK (17.2 euro) 30 Slots - £17.1 UK (24.5 euro) 40 Slots - £22 UK (31 euro)

I mean .. ???! get a grip Ventrilo.. I understand non profit organisations are paying for ventrilo servers .. why?

0 good will?

Anyhow, for those using ventrilo, wake up .. Do the numbers .. teamspeak + a server is cheaper and gives you alot more control for upgrading etc. Hell .. you can even run your website off the hosted server, run a CS server off it etc.

Yeah?

Does anyone care? Go promote your favorite software on some message board. What does any of this have to do with the article?

No You cannot

You cannot get cheaper than renting. I don't know where you're getting those numbers from, but they're way more expensive than a lot of providers out there. Buying a server for 17 EURO is like what.. $20 USD? You're only guaranteed a low amount of memory, so consider running a CS server out of the question. Not to mention, you're paying for traffic. A 100 person server can use almost a 1/4 terabyte of traffic if it's constantly filled and people are constantly talking. Ours uses over 50 GB but people aren't on it all the time. That's only for 100 users. That's at least another 25 euro on top of the 17 euro. 100 Ventrilo slots will run you only around 6-7 euro per month for 100 users if you pre-pay yearly at a lot of places.
