If Mozilla will use their own domain name they will be free to move their federated Matrix instance wherever they want. Modular.im will only provide the hosting expertise. I expect that in the future self-hosting your own Matrix server instance will become much easier.

Mozilla will no doubt use their own domain name, and would have the option to go self hosted if they wish to.

Moving synapse databases around isn't too difficult, and certainly Modular.im would be able to provide the data on request.

It can be a bit onerous, half the convo in our matrix room is about updating matrix.

I don’t have experience with running Synapse but it looks like a beast. Dendrite and Ruma look very promising though; can’t wait to have a lightweight home-server ready for prime-time.
