The Matrix chat is hosted exclusively in Switzerland,
|
|

offering its political stability and strict privacy laws as advantages

Everyone can run a Matrix server and by default Matrix is open for
|
|
||||||
federation. That means if you have a hosted Matrix server instance
|
|
||||||
that you can directly connect to other servers and chat with people
|
|
||||||
everywhere in the world. You can even try this out by talking to us on
|
|
||||||
**#matrix:ungleich.ch**!

feature3_text: Matrix allows full end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in its
|
|
||||||
core. No additional settings required, encryption is at at the heart
|
|
||||||
of Matrix.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because of E2EE your messages can even be encrypted at rest -
|
|
||||||
i.e. they are not stored plaintext, if you encrypt them.

## What is Matrix?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a decentralised chat that allows you
|
|
||||||
to have your own private conversations and at the same time be
|
|
||||||
connected to other communities. At your choice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Matrix features real end-to-end encryption that allows you to keep
|
|
||||||
your messages save from everyone.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Whom is Matrix Chat for?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are interested in Open Source, if you value privacy and if
|
|
||||||
don't mind a slightly geeky interface - well, then Matrix is certainly
|
|
||||||
for you.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are more looking for an end-user compatible chat, we recommend
|
|
||||||
to look at the [Mattermost based](../zero-carbon-chat/) chat.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Matrix can be used as a replacement of Slack or IRC. It is neither
|
|
||||||
proprietary nor based on a hard to extend protocol (think of:
|
|
||||||
pictures). Like the Mattermost chat, Matrix is also running on a Zero
|
|
||||||
Carbon infrastructure.

## Transparent costs
|
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) is a modern and decentralised, open-source chat
|
||||||
|
solution backed by a dynamic community and providing many advanced user-focused
|
||||||
|
features such as end-to-end encryption, bridging or audio & video calls:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The cost is divided between a base maintenance fee and the dedicated Virtual
|
* The strongest point of Matrix is *federation*: a Matrix homeserver - which is
|
||||||
Machine (VM) we deploy for you in our [own
|
what we offer - allows to manage your own community... and to join the whole
|
||||||
datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light). There is no artifical restriction
|
Matrix network. You will be able to exchange with users on any other Matrix
|
||||||
on the number of users or size of rooms: the only limit is the resources
|
server without any special configuration!
|
||||||
allocated to your node. We will extend them on demand, following the pricing
|
* End-to-end encryption (E2EE) means that - when enabled - only the sender and
|
||||||
model (CPU, RAM, Disk) of our [VM offer](https://datacenterlight.ch/).
|
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.
|
||||||
|
* Our Matrix servers are provided with a TURN server, meaning that you'll be
|
||||||
|
able to use voice and video calls out of the box.
|
||||||
|
* We support bridging to other networks such as Mattermost instances, IRC,
|
||||||
|
Slack, Telegram and more via
|
||||||
|
[Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are [many Matrix clients](https://matrix.org/clients/), although we
|
||||||
|
**strongly recommend** [Riot](https://about.riot.im/features) 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](https://riot.im/app/) first if your are not
|
||||||
|
already familiar with it.

You might be also interested in our [Mattermost-based chat
|
||||||
|
offer](../zero-carbon-chat), which might be closer to what you expect for a
|
||||||
|
corporate team chat. We use both at ungleich, using Mattermost for our internal
|
||||||
|
chat and Matrix to reach out to the world!

## Pricing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The cost of our Matrix-as-a-Service offer is divided between a base maintenance
|
||||||
|
fee and the price of the dedicated Virtual Machine (VM) we deploy for you in
|
||||||
|
our [own datacenter](/u/projects/data-center-light). There is no artifical
|
||||||
|
restriction on the number of users or size of rooms: the only limit is the
|
||||||
|
resources we allocate to your node. We will extend them on demand, following
|
||||||
|
the pricing model (CPU, RAM, Disk) of our [VM
|
||||||
|
offer](https://datacenterlight.ch/).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<div class="alert alert-info">
|
||||||
|
We also offer custom-sized deployment. You can discuss our offer with us by
|
||||||
|
email or even on matrix, via <a
