What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.

- The playbook deploys the current Mattermost Team Edition with PostgreSQL, HTTPS forced, file storage on local NVMe, push notifications configured, and mail through the MailChannels relay (when added) for invites and digests.
- What managed covers
- Platform, database, and server updates with snapshots first; daily snapshots plus optional Dual Backups of messages and files; monitoring, the managed firewall, and deliverable email.
- What it needs
- 2 GB RAM
Fits on SC-2GB, from $6.67/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

What people run on Mattermost here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
Team chat off Slack's meter
Channels, threads, search and calls without per-seat pricing. The whole company for the price of a server.
Regulated-industry messaging
Legal, health and finance teams keep conversations on infrastructure they control, with retention on their terms.
DevOps war rooms
Webhooks and integrations pipe alerts from Grafana, Uptime Kuma and CI into channels where the fix happens.
Communities with privacy
Run a member community where the archive belongs to you, not to a platform's export policy.
Stack it
Mattermost works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as Mattermost, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.

The details
Mattermost here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What does managed Mattermost hosting include?
A production Mattermost with its Postgres, SSL, backups covering the full message history, monitoring, and mail, at flat server pricing. The Slack bill becomes a server bill that does not grow per hire.
Why self-host team chat?
History and headcount. SaaS chat charges per user and holds your history hostage to the subscription; self-hosted Mattermost keeps every message searchable forever on hardware you control, and adding the eleventh employee costs nothing.
Do integrations and apps work?
Yes: webhooks, slash commands, and the integrations directory work as documented, and a Gitea or GitLab on the same server posts commits and CI results into channels over localhost.
Can Mattermost share the server?
Yes. Chat plus Nextcloud plus Gitea is a common self-hosted office trio on one managed server, and each addition stays $0. If it fits the meter, it runs.
FAQ
Mattermost hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
How much RAM does Mattermost need?
2 GB with Postgres carries a small team well; count 4 GB past a few dozen active users or heavy file sharing.
Do mobile apps and notifications work?
Yes, the official iOS and Android apps connect to your server, and the playbook configures the push notification path.
Is our history backed up?
Daily snapshots cover database and file uploads both, and optional Dual Backups add two offsite copies. Restores of the whole workspace or a point in time are a request.
Do the mobile apps and notifications work?
Yes, the official Mattermost apps connect to your server URL, and push notifications work through Mattermost's push service out of the box.
Slack import, is it real?
Yes. Mattermost imports Slack exports including channels, users and history, with published tooling. Plan an evening for a big workspace and the archive comes with you.
Is this Mattermost on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. Mattermost runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing Mattermost?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
Mattermost runs. You sleep.
