Dreamhost Ventrilo Plan request

Shopping around for ventrilo hosting I found most companies were offering webspace, etc with their ventrilo plans. Of course me being a dreamhost customer I wasn't very interested in that aspect of the plan. I'm also not keen on having to open another account with a different company just for VoIP service.

Would it be vaible for Dreamhost to branch out and do a ventrilo hosting? or am I stuck going through another company? I would definately like to add it to my hosting plan if it was at a decent price.

You need a dedicated (virtual if you want) server to use ventrilo.

DH can't get you that for now.

Would it bother you to have to pay $15 a month for DreamHost PS service to be able to run Ventrilo? This is the fee for the PS service above your regular hosting plan fee.

That would work, though it would probably cost more than a ventrilo host, which also offers a lot more than an 8 connection maximum. The OP's best bet would be to either make a suggestion in the control panel or use another host.

DreamHost isn't going to just jump up and start hosting ventrilo services because one customer requested it.
It's a nice thought though smile

Whoa, I didn't notice that they had changed the Ventrilo licensing to only allow 8 slots on the free version! It also looks like they really don't want you to run a bigger Vent server unless you're going to run a Ventrilo hosting service.

So, to the OP, does it have to be Ventrilo or would Teamspeak do just as well?
