There is no artifical restriction -on the number of users or size of rooms: the only limit is the resources -allocated to your node. We will extend them on demand, following the pricing -model (CPU, RAM, Disk) of our [VM offer](https://datacenterlight.ch/). +* The strongest point of Matrix is *federation*: a Matrix homeserver - which is +what we offer - allows 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! +* End-to-end encryption (E2EE) means that - when enabled - 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. +* 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/). + +
+We also offer custom-sized deployment. You can discuss our offer with us by +email or even on matrix, via #matrix:ungleich.ch! +
