Recently I have shown [GSF] the wonder that is, Ventrilo. We have used it to game and to chat... and basically everyone uses it to talk to my sister.

Anyways, the server that we had been using was from a company called vTalk. Sadly, vTalk is sucking recently and keeps going down. So what that means is we need a new server.

Recently, a few of the [GSF]ers have been using FiberFrag, a free Ventrilo server. Problem with that is, I can't seem to connect to their servers for neither Ventrilo nor Teamspeak. Now, I'm in a bit of a hard spot here in that I've wanted to get a new Vent server, and I would pay for most of it, but maybe have some help with the payment. It would be cheap, so I could handle most of it, but after awhile the cost does get quite high.

So from looking around servers, I have found a few good companies.

Anvox is quite cheap.

Typefrag has great deals and packages, but costs a bit more.

The issue here is, I like the whole $5 a month thing for 10 person server from Anvox. The problem is, 10 people is kind of small. Anvox's only other plan is a 20 person server for $10 a month. There is no 15, which would be ideal.

Typefrag has their 15 person servers for $7.95 a month. I have connected to their test servers before and they are very quick. Typefrag also seems much more professional in their work, but again it costs a bit more.

I'm hoping to get a job at the new cafe opening at the mall and I hope we can figure a deal out for this. While we got vTalk for free for awhile (was the remnants of our old Battlefield clan server), the company is beginning to suck.

So what are your thoughts on this? Complete list of Ventrilo server companies incase you find a better deal in there.

Kree = No Job = No Cash = No credit card anyway = Not paying for any server.

The only investment I planned into this was buying myself a new headset, which I did.

I have money money money, but I don't want to pay unless you can guarantee that my mom won't be around so that I can talk. And the occasional "Ventrilo Server Experience Featuring Kaylee" will occur.

I am currently jobless but I have a simon mall gift card that has about 15 bucks left on it. It runs through Visa and is how I'm paying for my super power privilages. Just tell me what I can do.
