      If you want the best experience the best option is to get a dedicated server. There are various hosts that you can buy from (such as Element https://element.io/personal-plans) or you can run your own.

      However it is also possible to find other public homeservers and many are free but I can’t attest to their performance as I haven’t tried them.

          Isn’t this always the case? A server with dedicated resources just for you is going to give you the best response time. A server trying to squeeze lots of people onto low-cost hardware is going to be slower.

          We all love someone giving us a great experience for free, but you can’t expect that. We are lucky enough that there are a handful of free homeservers available, but they still aren’t the same as something dedicated just for you.
