<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>

      <img style="width: 100%; position: relative; top: 25%; margin-bottom: 25%;" src="/u/image/matrix-logo.png" />
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-9">
      <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:

Matrix incorporates both End-to-end Encryption and federation. End-to-end encryption 
is activated by default for private conversations, rendering it an essential tool
for activists and privacy-conscious individuals worldwide.

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>Hosted Matrix Chat</h2>

      <p>We 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.
      </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.

      <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>
      </p>
