Matrix hosting (sh.itjust.works)

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.

This guy does a lot of Synology deploys:

Might be something to look over.

I've been seeing synapse everywhere but don't know what it does. I need to read up

Synapse is the Matrix homeserver, it handles everything except for the voice/video call features.

Edit: it doesn't handle the web client either, but technically you don't need that for a working setup.

Hmm, well voice is one of the most important to us..

There's an additional component, and how you deploy it depends on the method you're deploying things. If you do the Element Server Suite (https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm) via their instructions, it includes the voice/video component and web client. If you deploy your homeserver in a different way, you should be able to find instructions for Element Call.
