Hosted Matrix Chat
We will provide you with your own dedicated Matrix home server, as well as
a hosted web client. Matrix requires a domain name in order to join the global
networks, which will appear in your username (e.g.
@penguin:example.0co2.cloud): you can either use a subdomain of
0co2.cloud (e.g. example.0co2.cloud) or your own domain name. We
will deploy a Matterbridge)
instance (bridging to Mattermost, IRC, Slack, Telegram, ...) on demand.
There are many Matrix
clients, although we strongly recommend Riot which is the most
advanced at the moment. Be aware, however, that you might be a bit
confused with its UI/UX at first (there is ongoing work to improve
onboarding): we encourage you to try
Riot/Matrix first if your are not already familiar with it.
How the pricing works
We try to be as transparent as possible for our Matrix pricing. The pricing is made of 2 essential parts.
-
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.
-
a monthly maintenance fee that includes the price of a dedicated virtual machine(VM)** and the fee for maintaining the service.
You're all set with above 2 costs for starting your own Matrix.
* Further customization such as favicon, background and more is possible at additional fee, get in touch with us to learn more.
** 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 our standard VM pricing.
Your usecase doesn't fit the offers below? We do custom-sized deployment for you. Get in touch with us by
email or even on matrix, via
#matrix:ungleich.ch!
You will find more details
on our Matrix-as-a-Service FAQ and on Matrix's official documentation.
You might be also interested in our
Mattermost-based chat offer, which might be
closer to what you expect for a enterprise team chat at the moment. We use both
at ungleich, since Matrix is especially convenient to reach out to the world!

## Matrix UI/UX development support program
On 2020-04-21 we started our new support program to specifically
enhance the UI and UX of Matrix. With this program we want to enhance
the usability of the web client and the apps.
### How the matrix support program works
If you want to support UI/UX improvements of Matrix,
you can support the work financially with 15 CHF (roughly about 15
USD) as a one time or monthly payment (below 15 CHF is costing too
much in transfer fees).
To do so, write an email with the subject "I want to support the
Matrix UI/UX improvements" to **support -at- ungleich.ch** and include
the amount that you are willing to contribute and whether you want to
pay via credit card or wire transfer.
Also mention whether you want to be publicly listed as a supporter on
this website.
### Development and transparency
All money that comes in will only be used to finance development and
design work related to Matrix. We will continuously
update this website with contributions and which tasks we work on.
### Why is ungleich doing this?
We at ungleich think that Matrix has one really, really huge edge over
almost all other solutions: it is really decentralised and
federated. It finally solves the problems of **data silos** that
exists in many places in IT.
However we do acknowledge that Matrix can benefit a lot from UI/UX
improvements and thus we wanted to create an easy way for anyone to
contribute to it.
