You are encouraged to self-host #XMPP but you are not required to. We try to make self hosting as easy as possible. I think it is one step above hosting your own website but way easier than hosting your own e-mail.
If you are medium tech-savvy I recommend getting your own domain and going for an XMPP provider that let’s you bring your own domain (for example: account.conversations.im/domai…) this gives you the flexibility to self host or switch providers later.

in reply to Daniel Gultsch • • •hell no. Prefer using yours and donating an average of €3/month (have an Excel to track it, I donate in higher amounts to avoid higher fees). Reason: don't want to manage the server.
PS: can't find the donation link just now but I have you on Liberapay...
