What's installed on your TeamSpeak server?
- TeamSpeak 3 server from TeamSpeak's official Docker image (3.13 series)
- An admin key created on first start, shown in the Admin key row of your panel
- Unlicensed mode: 1 virtual server and 32 slots
- A persistent data volume for channels, permissions and uploaded files
- Firewall with 9987/UDP open for voice, 30033/TCP for file transfers and 22 for SSH
- ServerQuery port (10011) closed to the outside
What size do you need for TeamSpeak?
TeamSpeak's support site recommends at least 1 GB of RAM and says a bare install takes about 15 MB of disk. Total memory use depends on how many virtual servers you run and how large they are. For the free 32-slot setup, 1 GB is a sensible start. Look at 2 to 4 GB if you share lots of files or want to run something else on the same server. A bigger server doesn't add slots, because the license sets that limit.
| Use | Size | Price | Choose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small team | 1 GB RAM · 1 vCore · 25 GB NVMe | $2.58/mo | |
| Clan | 2 GB RAM · 1 vCore · 40 GB NVMe | $4.01/mo | |
| Large community | 4 GB RAM · 2 vCore · 60 GB NVMe | $6.89/mo |
Who is it for?
- Friends who game together, and clans that want a permanent voice channel
- Communities that want to set up channels and permissions their own way
- Small groups that prefer a voice server they run themselves over someone else's platform
- Clans with members in or near Turkey who want voice hosted in Istanbul
What happens after you order?
- Set the size and complete your payment.
- Your server starts and TeamSpeak installs itself. This took about 2.5 minutes in our real-server tests.
- In your panel's Overview tab, copy the Connection address and Admin key rows.
- In the TeamSpeak client, go to Connections, then Connect. Enter the address, pick a nickname and connect.
- Paste the key when the client asks for it. If it doesn't ask, use Use Privilege Key in the Permissions menu.
- Right-click the server name and open Edit Virtual Server to set a password, then create your channels.
With every server
- Daily backups included in the price

Good to know
- The free license is limited to 1 virtual server and 32 slots, and only individuals and non-commercial groups may use it. Scaling the server up doesn't change this.
- More than 32 slots or commercial use needs a TeamSpeak license. It isn't included in the price: you buy it from TeamSpeak and add it yourself.
- By ordering, you accept the TeamSpeak license agreement.
- The admin key works once. It stays visible in your panel but does nothing after use. Create new keys under Privilege Keys in the Permissions menu.
- The server starts without a password, so anyone with the address can join.
- The version doesn't upgrade itself. Unlicensed mode carries an end date tied to the version: 1 July 2027 on the 3.13.8 build. Update the image before then.
TeamSpeak questions and answers
How many people can use a free TeamSpeak server?
TeamSpeak's free use is limited to 1 virtual server and 32 slots, so up to 32 people can be connected at once. It's meant for individuals and non-commercial groups, and the limit has nothing to do with your server size.
What do I need for more than 32 users?
A paid license from TeamSpeak, which also applies to commercial use. It isn't part of the server price, so you buy it and add it to the server yourself.
How much RAM does a TeamSpeak server need?
TeamSpeak's support site recommends at least 1 GB. That's a sensible start for a 32-slot server. If you plan to run other apps on the same machine, size the server for those instead.
How do I connect to my TeamSpeak server?
In the TeamSpeak client, open Connections, choose Connect and enter the Connection address from your panel. Your friends use the same address. The server runs on the default port, so you don't need to type one.
Can I use the TeamSpeak 5 or 6 client?
Yes. TeamSpeak's support site says newer clients can join a TeamSpeak 3 server, limited to TeamSpeak 3 features. This install is a TeamSpeak 3 server.
How do I become the server admin?
Enter the Admin key from your panel on your first connection. If the client doesn't ask, open Use Privilege Key in the Permissions menu. The key works once, so create new ones in the client for other admins.
Can people connect with a domain instead of an IP?
Yes. Point your domain's A record at the server's IP address and have people enter the domain in the client. The IP stays the same when you scale up, so the record keeps working.
