I've heard bad things and myself had a horrible experience on matrix.org HS, hence why most people go to ptio servers or end up hosting themselves, the easiest solution being just ems hosting. (though 3 times as expensive as e.g. a hetzner vps that you "waste" [or spend, depending if you like it or not] time - setting it up for a bit).
