You can either use your own domain name (see below) or ask us for $ANYTHING.???.??.

Yes! You will have to give us two domain names:

- You will have to serve a file containing *{"m.server": "address_of_B:443"}* on *.well-known/matrix/server*. Example: <pre>$ curl https://ungleich.ch/.well-known/matrix/server
{"m.server": "matrix.ungleich.ch:443"}</pre>
* (B) An address for the Matrix server and client (e.g. matrix.ungleich.ch).
