Not everyone has the possibility to self-host

    While you are technically correct, most people vastly overestimate the cost of self hosting a (matrix) server. Mine costs like 5€ a month with domain and we use it as a group of 5 people.

    Late to the party. So like this sever is just a VM or container in the cloud you're paying for?

    It's a virtual server, so not really a hardware server, but no container either. It's when multiple servers share RAM, CPU and other things on a big cluster, but each behaves like a normal server. The 5€ in this case even includes the domain. So it's more like 3-4€.
