What is Ventrillo Hosting?

By: Jarrod Ploof

Ventrillo Hosting, which is also often called Ventrilo, is a voice over internet protocol (or VOIP) application particularly often used by gamers, who find it to be a useful tool for communication between guild members when planning raids and other activities in the course of gameplay. This method of voice communication is inexpensive, even free if your needs are very limited.

Ventrillo hosting is a rental service so there is a fee involved. Fees vary depending on the hosting company that is chosen but it is usually split between all the members of a guild. While there is a freeware version of Ventrilo it does not have space to handle the sizes of most guilds however the pro version requires a minimum of 1000 slots which is significantly larger than most guilds.

To make up the difference there is Ventrillo hosting. This is where you simply rent the number of slots you need from companies who are using the pro version of Ventrilo. If you have not had a chance to consider Ventrillo hosting consider the way you have been executing or even planning your raids.

Most likely, you have been doing your planning via phone, email or perhaps IM; or maybe unreliable bandwidth consuming VOIP software. Ventrilo, by contrast uses very little bandwidth, making your gameplay smoother.

During a raiding operation, it is very difficult to keep in contact with your teammates by using text-based communication; in order to type messages to them, you must step away from gameplay. VOIP communication makes more sense ? you can then stay in the action while being in contact with your fellow guild members. The best part about Ventrillo hosting is that you can have all of this at a very low price.

You can use it for free or for a small rental fee if you need more slots than are provided by the freeware options. It is available for both Mac OS and Windows operating systems. Using Ventrillo hosting is vital to making a MMoRPG more productive and more successful. You can easily handle game play, strategy and communication with your team at the same time without having to worry about loss of bandwidth.

Ventrillo hosting is the ideal solution to the needs of online gamers. The cost is small, there are plenty of different hosting companies offering the service and the benefits for gamers are many. You can easily keep in contact with teammates during the game; or any time at all! Planning and executing raids is far easier when you have good communication ? the kind which Ventrilo software offers.

Then during game play you can maintain communication and make adjustments as needed without having to pause game play in order to do it. This makes for a smoother game and because Ventrilo is a low bandwidth usage program you do not have to worry about losing game bandwidth when you use Ventrilo.
