Comparison Criteria
What should you check before accepting sponsorship?
Activity Rules and Duration
Check whether minimum activity is required and when an unused server may be deleted. Ask whether you will receive notice before a shutdown.
Advertising Requirements
Some sponsors require references to their service. Check where advertisements must appear and whether those terms suit your community.
Available Admin Permissions
Ask which permissions are available for groups, codecs, and file transfers. Server admin permissions on a rented or sponsored TS3 server do not mean root access to the operating system.
Protection and Outage Support
Ask about DDoS protection, backups, and support availability. Whether a service is free does not by itself establish its protection or uptime.
Compare Ongoing Costs
TeamSpeaks.eu charges €0.25 per slot per month. Ten slots therefore cost €2.50 monthly. Compare the price, required permissions, and included services with the sponsorship terms.
