Introducing Managed Matrix Hosting: Encrypted, Open Source Chat

We are excited to announce the availability of Matrix instances as part of our managed open source hosting services. As an organization committed to providing secure and reliable communication solutions, we understand the importance of offering cutting-edge, encrypted, and open source platforms that cater to your organization’s specific needs. And Matrix is exactly that! A powerful, open source communication platform designed to provide end-to-end encrypted messaging, voice, and video calls. Developed and maintained by Matrix.org, this protocol has gained significant attention for its privacy-focused approach and customizable features.
