FAQ. Rocket.Chat VPS

Common questions, straight answers.

What is Rocket.Chat?
Rocket.Chat is an open-source team chat platform, a self-hosted alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams. It supports channels, DMs, threads, voice/video calls, file sharing, integrations, and bots. The community edition is MIT-licensed and free with no per-seat cost. You only pay for the VPS that runs it.

How is Rocket.Chat different from Slack?
Rocket.Chat runs on your VPS, not someone else's cloud. No per-user pricing, no message-history limits, no third-party scanning of conversations. The mobile and desktop apps look and feel similar to Slack, so onboarding is fast for teams switching over.

How many users can a Rocket.Chat VPS handle?
On the 4 GB plan, comfortably 30-80 active users. The 8 GB tier handles a couple hundred. Rocket.Chat is built on Node.js + MongoDB; the bottleneck is usually MongoDB memory, so RAM matters more than vCPU for chat workloads.

Do I need to pay for Rocket.Chat?
Rocket.Chat Community is free, MIT-licensed. There's an optional paid Enterprise tier with premium features (advanced auditing, omnichannel, premium support) directly from Rocket.Chat, but most teams stay on Community indefinitely.

Is video and voice calling included?
Yes. Rocket.Chat supports built-in voice and video calls via Jitsi or BigBlueButton integrations. Both are open-source, both can run on the same VPS or a second one. No Zoom subscription required.

Can I install Rocket.Chat myself?
Yes. Rocket.Chat ships an official Snap, Docker Compose, and Helm chart. Most users complete the install in 15 minutes. We provide a stock Ubuntu image on every plan, so paste the official setup command and you're chatting.

Will I need a domain and HTTPS?
Yes. Rocket.Chat clients require HTTPS for push notifications and OAuth integrations. Point your domain at the VPS, install Caddy or Nginx, and Let's Encrypt issues a free SSL cert in under a minute.

Does Rocket.Chat support integrations and bots?
Yes. Slack-compatible incoming/outgoing webhooks, Hubot, OAuth apps, and a marketplace of pre-built integrations (Jira, GitLab, GitHub, Trello, etc.). The integration API is well-documented and friendly to custom bots.

Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes, 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, full refund on the VPS. Apply from the panel or email [email protected].
