Ventrilo voice gaming servers are located worldwide. These servers are offered by various providers who have their own rates, specials, and discounts. Services, such as support, installation, and slot availability, also varies.
The gaming server providers must be officially licensed to legally run the Ventrilo product. Server hosting slots can range from small numbers, such as 10, to larger slots such as 250. A slot is considered to be a single client connection to a server.
End users, such as gaming businesses, rent space on these servers by purchasing a license to use the server for a specific number of gaming players. The servers allow users access to various components of the Ventrilo Voice system. Some allow for CODEC upgrades and changes in quality for users.
Ventrilo voice gaming servers have the Ventrilo software on them. This software is independent from specific games so it is available to any end user who has Ventrilo installed and has the appropriate peripherals, such as a headset and/or microphone.

The program also has applications for home use, such as communications between family and friends, and for businesses, which can use the technology for conference calls and like communication.
The software, which is fully customizable, offers surround sound positioning and special sound effects. Each user, each channel, and each server can configure the sounds to meet specific specifications.
