I know I am supposed to search the forums for something before I post it but when I did I had a white screen and it stopped loading. Now, my server works great its just when I exit "TeamSpeak Server" my server shuts down and its obvious this is gonna happen when I turn off my comp. I made the server for a new guild me and my math teacher are gonna make in WoW and I want to have it running all the time. Can anyone help me with this?

If you want to have the TeamSpeak server running at all times, you have to leave your computer on. When you shutdown your computer the software will also shutdown. You can download the Service Binary to make it to where the server will automatically turn on when you turn your computer on. Also when you exit out of the TeamSpeak Server it is going to shutdown, but the server should not shutdown when you close out of the TeamSpeak Client.

If you just realized that an electrical device stops working when you turn it off, you shouldn't be running any servers at all. Basically, you should not even try to operate any sort of electrical device. You could seriously harm yourself.

Seriously: Do you have a TV? Can you watch TV when you turn it off?

The only way to have a server online 24 hours a day is running it on a machine which is running 24 hours a day. If you can't to this yourself, you will have to ask someone else to do it for you.

Here you can find the list of authorized TeamSpeak server hosters: http://sales.tritoncia.com/hosters.php

I know that when you turn something off you cant use it but i didnt know that teakspeak would because when I went to do the administration thing it said the server was running and I thought that meant that it was always up. But now i know and thnx for your help.

You started the server software on your system. Therefore your system is the server. A TeamSpeak server is nothing else than a network service.

It's a little bit difficult as you use the same word for two different things. A physical machine with running network services is called a "server. The software used for these network services should be called "server software" but is commonly referred to as "server".

Running the server software on your system doesn't mean that a physical server somewhere on the world starts hosting your TeamSpeak server and you can use the software to administrate it. Then it would be called "Administration software". Running the software on your system turns your system into a server.

I hope I was able to clear up things a bit.
