Requirements to run the TeamSpeak 2 server
TeamSpeak 2 Windows Server - Minimum Requirements
- Microsoft Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP
- Pentium 166 MHz processor and 64 MBytes of RAM for Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition
- Pentium II class processor and 128 MBytes of RAM for all other Windows flavours
TeamSpeak 2 Linux Server - Minimum Requirements
- For a console Linux box (without running a graphical user interface like an X server or equivalents) a Pentium 100 MHz processor and 32 MBytes of RAM will suffice
- For a Linux box with a graphical user interface we recommend a Pentium 166 MHz processor with 64 MBytes of RAM
TeamSpeak 2 - Bandwidth Requirements
- The amount of users a TeamSpeak server can handle depends primarily on the server's Internet connection as CPU usage is very low
- Most typical home-based xDSL and Cable Modem connections may have difficulty handling more than 5 to 10 simultaneous users at a time
- If you experience choppiness or lag when speaking due to bandwidth limitations, you may want to consider visiting our sales partners Authorized Hosters page and renting a server
TeamSpeak 2 - Server Farming Recommendations
Authorized TeamSpeak Host Providers (ATHPs) that intend to mass-provision or 'farm' TeamSpeak servers should be aware of the following recommendations to optimize performance and stability:
- Spawn no more than 75 virtual servers maximum per TeamSpeak instance (running binary)
- Although MySQL (3.x) support is available, in TeamSpeak 2 it is still highly experimental and not recommended for use in a production environment
- Consider using the native SQLite TeamSpeak 2 database which is installed by default
