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

<ul>
<li>
The strongest point of Matrix is <b>federation</b>: a Matrix homeserver allows you to manage your own community and to join the whole
Matrix network. You will be able to exchange with users on any other Matrix
server without any special configuration!
</li>
<li>
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
manages the matrix server, will not be able to access the content of E2EE
messages.
</li>
<li>
Our Matrix servers are provided with a TURN server: you'll be
able to use voice and video calls out of the box.
</li>
<li>
You can bridge to other networks: Mattermost instances, IRC,
Slack, Telegram and more via <a
href="https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge">Matterbridge</a>.

feature1_title: Open

feature1_text:
The evolution of Matrix is managed through an open governance process,
supervised by [The Matrix.org Foundation](https://matrix.org/foundation).
All the software backing the network is [Free and Open
Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software), which
guarantees quality and security.
---
feature2_title: Secure & decentralized
---
feature2_text:
Both end-to-end encryption and federation are *built-in* into Matrix. The
former will be enabled by default in the near future, making it a valuable tool
for activists and privacy-minded people all across the world.

feature3_title: Zero Carbon
---
feature3_text:
We host your Matrix homeserver in our [own
datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light/) in Switzerland, which we believe to
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
hydroelectric power plant.

<h2>Growing fast!</h2>
<p>As of February 2020, the Matrix network supports ~13.5M visible
accounts, ~5.0M messages a day, ~40.000 federated servers and even <a
href="https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/matrix_french_state/">governments</a>!</p>
<p>A lot of privacy, security and usability work is going on: Matrix will get even more awesome in the coming months!</p>
<p>You can follow the <a href="https://matrix.org/blog/posts">Matrix.org
blog</a> to get frequent updates on Matrix's development, and chat with
us on <a

<h2>Hosted Matrix Chat</h2>
<p>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.
<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
href="https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/">Element web</a> which is the most
advanced at the moment.
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<h2>How the pricing works</h2>
<p>We try to be as transparent as possible for our Matrix pricing. The pricing is made of 2 essential parts.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
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>
You're all set with above 2 costs for starting your own Matrix.
</p>
<p>
* Further customization such as favicon, background and more is possible at additional fee, get in touch with us to learn more.
</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>

You might be also interested in our <a
href="../zero-carbon-chat">Mattermost-based chat offer</a>, 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!
