InterNetX: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

InterNetX is a German company based in Regensburg that operates AutoDNS, a reseller platform for domains, DNS, SSL and code-signing certificates. Customers manage domains and certificates through a web interface and can use the Domain Robot API to integrate the services into their own systems. The service is delivered as an online platform and API, and the company runs its own ISO-certified data centre.

InterNetX GmbH is registered in Regensburg and, according to the company, has been part of IONOS Group SE since 2004. IONOS Group SE has its seat in Montabaur, Germany, so the ownership chain stays within Germany and the EU. The company's website lists hosting in Germany and references ISO/IEC 27001 certification for its data centre and DNS operations. The company's public pages do not describe a data processing agreement or GDPR documentation, so European customers should check those terms directly before ordering.

Why digital sovereignty matters with InterNetX

InterNetX is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so InterNetX scores best on data residency.

InterNetX is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs InterNetX together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
