<h2>What is Matrix?</h2>
<p><a href="https://matrix.org/">Matrix</a> is a modern and decentralised,
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
open-source chat solution backed by a dynamic community. It provides advanced user-focused features such as end-to-end encryption, bridging or audio
2020-02-06 10:29:26 +00:00
& video calls.</a></p>

<ul>

2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
The strongest point of Matrix is <b>federation</b>: a Matrix homeserver allows you to manage your own community and to join the whole
2020-02-06 10:29:26 +00:00
Matrix network. You will be able to exchange with users on any other Matrix
server without any special configuration!
</li>
<li>
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
You can enable end-to-end encryption (E2EE): only the sender and
intended receiver(s) will be able to read the messages. Even ungleich, who
2020-02-06 10:29:26 +00:00
manages the matrix server, will not be able to access the content of E2EE
messages.
</li>
<li>
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
Our Matrix servers are provided with a TURN server: you'll be
2020-02-06 10:29:26 +00:00
able to use voice and video calls out of the box.
</li>
<li>
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
You can bridge to other networks: Mattermost instances, IRC,
2020-02-06 10:29:26 +00:00
Slack, Telegram and more via <a
href="https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge">Matterbridge</a>.

We host your Matrix homeserver in our [own
datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light/) in Switzerland, which we believe to
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
be as ecologically-friendly as a datacenter can get: we use old factory halls,
recycled servers, passive cooling and our servers are directly plugged into a
2020-02-06 09:22:22 +00:00
hydroelectric power plant.

<h2>Hosted Matrix Chat</h2>
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
<p>We will provide you with your own dedicated Matrix home server, as well as
2020-02-06 11:57:30 +00:00
a hosted web client. Matrix requires a domain name in order to join the global
networks, which will appear in your username (e.g.
<i>@penguin:example.0co2.cloud</i>): you can either use a subdomain of
<i>0co2.cloud</i> (e.g. <i>example.0co2.cloud</i>) or your own domain name. We
will deploy a <a href="https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge">Matterbridge</a>)
instance (bridging to Mattermost, IRC, Slack, Telegram, ...) on demand.
</p>
<p>There are <a href="https://matrix.org/clients/">many Matrix
clients</a>, although we <b>strongly recommend</b> <a
2021-01-17 19:38:35 +00:00
href="https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/">Element web</a> which is the most
advanced at the moment.

<h2>How the pricing works</h2>
2020-04-15 11:46:42 +00:00
<p>We try to be as transparent as possible for our Matrix pricing. The pricing is made of 2 essential parts.
</p>
<ul>
2020-04-21 15:41:37 +00:00
<li>
2020-04-15 11:46:42 +00:00
a one-time set up fee for initially setting up the Matrix instance for you. We set up the Matrix and also customize* the login page with your own logo and text.
</li>
<li>
a monthly maintenance fee that includes the price of a dedicated virtual machine(VM)** and the fee for maintaining the service.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
You're all set with above 2 costs for starting your own Matrix.

2020-04-15 11:35:29 +00:00
2020-04-21 15:41:37 +00:00

* Further customization such as favicon, background and more is possible at additional fee, get in touch with us to learn more.
2020-04-15 11:46:42 +00:00
</p>
<p>
** The number of users or size of rooms depend on the size of your VM, and you can scale them anytime you want. The extention will be done according to <a href="https://datacenterlight.ch">our standard VM pricing.</a>

closer to what you expect for a enterprise team chat at the moment. We use both
