Right but maybe you don't want to host your own server, but do want your own domain. Like emails.

Element's primary paid service is Element Matrix Services [1] which is exactly for that. They run a Matrix server for you, optionally on a domain that you provide.

That's not possible yet, see this proposal

The proposal that you linked is all about portable identities, tied to public keys. Is that really necessary for Element to host a server on a user's domain?

I would have thought it would work just like outsourcing your web server or your email service. You generate a DNS name and point it at their IP address. Then they get a certificate and start serving traffic for your domain. Easy peasy.
