TeamSpeak — Server Config
How to configure your TeamSpeak 3 server on uHost.
Settings via the uHost Dashboard
The following settings are editable from the uHost dashboard and applied on the next restart:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Server Name | The virtualserver name shown in the client list |
| Max Slots | Maximum concurrent clients (up to 32 without a license) |
| ServerQuery Admin Password | Password used to authenticate with the ServerQuery interface |
| I accept the TeamSpeak license | Required — the server refuses to start without this accepted |
Settings via the TeamSpeak Client
Most TeamSpeak settings are edited live from the TeamSpeak 3 client once you hold the ServerAdmin token:
- Right-click your server in the channel list.
- Select Edit Virtual Server.
- Adjust the welcome message, host banner, default channels, permissions, etc.
Changes take effect immediately — no restart required.
Uploading a Custom Server Icon
- In the TeamSpeak client, right-click your server and select Edit Virtual Server.
- On the Host tab, set the Host Banner URL, Host Button URL, Host Button Gfx URL, or Server Icon.
- Custom icons upload to the file-transfer port (
30033/tcp) automatically — make sure that port is reachable.
License Notes
The non-commercial TeamSpeak license applies by default. Key limits:
- Up to 32 slots across all virtualservers on one instance.
- Non-commercial use only — commercial/paid-access communities need an Authorized TeamSpeak Host (ATHP) license directly from TeamSpeak.
- License files are not bundled with the uHost image; if you have your own, upload it via SFTP to the server data directory and restart.
See the TeamSpeak licensing page for current terms.
Advanced: ServerQuery
For settings that aren't exposed in the client (master server registration, global ban lists, raw virtualserver properties), use ServerQuery:
telnet <address> 10011
login serveradmin <your_admin_password>
use 1
serveredit virtualserver_welcomemessage="Welcome!"See Connecting → ServerQuery for the full connection walkthrough.
TIP
After changing the ServerQuery Admin Password field in the uHost dashboard, restart the server for the new password to take effect.
WARNING
Accepting the TeamSpeak license is mandatory. If the checkbox is off, the server will refuse to start and log an error.
