Hey y’all, this actually isn’t self hosting related, but who have you had good luck with for paid matrix hosting?
Right now, I do enough tinkering with everything that I would be willing to just pay to host a matrix server for my friends.
Unless it really is easy enough to do it on a synology nas for text/voice/screen share…but do I need to pay for a domain still?
We are (like everyone) on matrix.org now but realize we need to move eventually.
You will need a domain, but they can be had for a couple $ per year.
As for hosting on synology, I don’t know how difficult it is. I used the Element Server Suite on a Debian VM, and aside from some minor issues getting email and automatic room joining working it was pretty simple following their guides.
