The curated list of XMPP providers on this website makes it easy for you to find a suitable provider.

This website uses data from [XMPP Providers](https://invent.kde.org/melvo/xmpp-providers).
Many properties of the included providers have references to the providers' web pages in order to verify and maintain them.
Therefore, it is important that the providers add corresponding statements to their websites.
As soon as that is done, the corresponding provider entry can be updated.
All properties of the included providers are [automatically checked](/faq/#where-do-we-have-the-providers-properties-from) on a daily basis and updated if needed.

Help us to make _free communication_ possible and [contribute to XMPP Providers](https://invent.kde.org/melvo/xmpp-providers/-/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) or [improve this website](https://github.com/xsf/xmpp-providers-website)!

1. Which *password* should I take?
1. Which *provider* should I take?

We, [Melvin Keskin](https://invent.kde.org/melvo) and [Edward Maurer](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/User:Echolon), wanted to tackle the third question.

There were several approaches on the web but none provided a good user experience via a curated list.
Furthermore, there were no criteria for recommended providers.
Thus, we created a list containing all properties of providers relevant to the users during the onboarding.

When we saw that our approach worked out for Kaidan, we decided to spin it off as an independent project.

That way, other apps could use our list as well.
Since then, we added more providers, filtering, results, badges and [apps that integrate XMPP Providers](/apps).

Finally, [Daniel Brötzmann](https://github.com/cal0pteryx) joined our team.
He created this wonderful website and helped us with many great contributions.
Together with him, the XMPP Providers team developed bots to automatically gather the provider properties.
That automation made it possible to add even more providers and introduce new properties while keeping everything up to date.
