How to Create a TeamSpeak 3 Server

To talk on TeamSpeak everyone needs to connect to a server. There are two ways to get yours: install it on your own computer or rent one ready to use.

Option 1: host it at home

The server software is a free download from teamspeak.com for Windows, Linux and macOS. Without a license it runs one virtual server with up to 32 slots. Keep in mind:

• The computer has to stay on all the time: if it shuts down or the power goes out, the server goes down.
• You need to open port 9987 UDP (voice) on your router and, for file sharing, 30033 TCP.
• Every connected user takes part of your internet connection: if someone at home downloads something big, voice can stutter.
• The first time you start it, the server shows a privilege key that makes you admin. Save it.

Option 2: rent one ready to use

A rented server does not depend on your computer or your connection, and there are no ports to open. At MejorServer:

1. Go to the TeamSpeak cart and pick how many slots (from 5) and the city closest to your players.
2. Choose your address, for example yourclan.ts3.me, yourclan.t3.ar or yourclan.ts3.mejorserver.com.
3. Pay the invoice with PayPal, card, Mercado Pago or bank transfer.
4. Once payment clears, the server is created automatically and you get an email with the address, port and admin key.

How to connect

1. Download the TeamSpeak 3 client from teamspeak.com and install it.
2. In Connections → Connect, type the server address and your nickname.
3. To become admin, use the privilege key: see how to become admin on TeamSpeak 3.
