I believe regular fees must be paid from such business's / hosts to Ventrilo on a per slot basis (at least it used to be when I worked for a game server company).
If you do attempt to host the free 8 slot version, keep in mind it will use more bandwidth than the client itself, and may not reside and share bandwidth well with other games, such as POTCO.
There are volumes of hosts out there, some good, some bad. Location is also a key depending on where your friends are. This is why I recommend shopping around, you can sometimes find a host offering a special that you can take advantage of at the time. Most hosts provide test servers for clans/guilds to verify connectivity is adequate for the group.

if you read my original post i've already said a license wasn't worth the time.... as for hosting on a home pc i think your lost, before renting because we needed more then 8 slots we used to host the old version up untill about a month ago and had no issue's at all and i've been using this software for about 7 years now, not saying you have no clue but please read the entire post next time.
