Anyone know if there are go-to servers to use? Looking to try Matrix for a team of around 20 where client information can be shared privately

EDIT: mainly I was seeing if any of the public servers listed on joinmatrix.org/servers/ would be more recommended than others

Host your own Synapse instance and lock it down to your users.

I'm clearly weak on terminology. When you say Synapse instance, Sypnase is the server software that would then allow me to host an instance of Element/Matrix? And an instance would be running that software somewhere — namely, a device I own or a VPS?

Yes. Synapse is the server side part of Matrix. You install it at a Matrix host, or on a VPS, or even a Raspberry PI device. See https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#installing-and-configuration

Once up and running you connect a client like Element to it.

Nice, thank you. I appreciate the clarifications!
