Can we use OpenIM as an XMPP server for our business with our own domain?

Yes. With the own domain plan (€60 a year) you chat on your own domain. Every account gets Supporter limits, everyone on the domain sees each other in their contacts and you manage up to 10 accounts yourself in the portal.

Private messaging on the open XMPP network

Your own portal: create up to 10 accounts, reset passwords and check your DNS and certificates yourself.
Everyone in one list: people on your domain see each other in their contacts right away. Group chats, calls and OMEMO work out of the box.
Hosted in Europe: run by ICSystems under Dutch law. Certificates renew by themselves and we don't track you.
