Chicago, Illinois Voice Communication

Chicago, Illinois is one of DarkStar's choice locations in the mid-west United States for voice servers. Located at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, Chicago stands as the largest and well-connected city in the region over Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri. Attractions such as the Sears Tower and Buckingham Fountain bring visitors to the Chicago area all the way from Champaign to Springfield, Illinois and beyond.

Commonly known as "The Windy City", Chicago visitors are commonly surprised to learn that the name doesn't come from the wind of Lake Michigan, but rather Chicago's "windy" political history. From The Great Chicago Fire to Millenium Park, the city of Chicago, Illinois oozes with history and culture.

Ventrilo and Teamspeak servers in Chicago reside within Chicago's largest technology facility at 350 Cermak with Ubiquity Server Solutions. This building isn't just a data center - it's a 1,000,00+ square foot IP exchange - which means internet users from Indianapolis to St. Louis receive heavy connectivity from this Chicago facility - often connecting here before their internet routes run anyplace else. This makes our Chicago voice servers the only logical choice for those in the upper mid-west United States.

Ventrilo Server Host

DarkStar Communications is renowned as the industry-leading Ventrilo provider, and our services in Chicago, Illinois are no exception to the rest. First released in 2002 by Flagship Industries, Ventrilo servers have quickly been made ubiquitous in the online gaming community, and Ventrilo's sleek and light-weight voice client is one of the most popular tools for online voice communication today.

With an initial release in August of 2002, Ventrilo's famous voice client and server software is still the most prominent on the internet today. Ventrilo servers are used especially in gaming, from online role playing games to first person shooters, and even in unique implementations such as companies seeking group inter-office communication.

A Teamspeak Hosting Company

Teamspeak hosting services in Chicago have long been a part of DarkStar Communications. With Teamspeak servers located across the globe, we are able to deliver a level of Teamspeak service matched by none.

First released in 2003 by German developers Ralf Ludwig and Niels Werensteijn, Teamspeak has been around for nearly as long as Ventrilo servers. Due to the cult following that exists still today between both Teamspeak and Ventrilo, we are proud to be a provider of either service to our customers.
