📄 Editorial Review

internic.at is an Austrian domain registration, web hosting, and internet services provider operated by internic Datenkommunikations GmbH, headquartered in Vienna, Austria. Established in 1999, the company has more than 25 years of experience serving individuals, businesses, and domain resellers. Its principal activities include domain registration, DNS management, shared web hosting, virtual servers, email services, domain forwarding, and internet telephony.

The company was officially registered on April 10, 1999, under Austrian company registration number FN 181322a. Ing. Andreas Paumann has served as managing director since May 2003. The company's registered shareholders include Andreas Paumann, Martina Wagner, Elias Wagner, and Livia Wagner. It operates as an independent Austrian provider rather than as a subsidiary of a major international hosting group.

An important distinction is that internic.at is not affiliated with the historical American InterNIC organization or Network Solutions. Despite the similarity in names, these are separate organizations. The Austrian company has its own legal identity and a longstanding position in the local domain services market.

Domain Registration is one of the company's core specialties. Customers can register and transfer Austrian domains such as .at, .co.at and .or.at, alongside international extensions including .com, .net, .org, .eu, .de, .info and .biz. Its international domain search extends to more than 400 country-code extensions, while additional search tools cover newer generic top-level domains. As a registrar partner of nic.at, internic handles Austrian domain registrations, associated billing, and administrative services.

Domain registration can be combined with the DomainPLUS package, which includes primary and secondary DNS hosting and an online domain management interface. The combination is convenient for customers who want to handle their domain registration, DNS configuration, and related hosting services through a single provider.

The Shared Web Hosting range offers Linux-oriented webspace with PHP, Perl, and CGI functionality. Features include subdomain support, graphical website statistics through Webalizer, access to webserver logs, and utilities such as FormMail. Hosting packages include unrestricted data transfer under the standard webspace offering, subject to the applicable service conditions.

Shared hosting is available in several storage configurations, from very small websites requiring only a few megabytes to packages offering approximately 3 GB of storage. This structure is most appropriate for conventional websites, small business projects, and customers with modest storage requirements.

A particularly accessible option is the SuperAktion package, combining a domain name, 1,500 MB of webspace, and 200 email addresses. The package includes a first-year domain registration promotion for selected extensions, making it attractive to customers who need a straightforward hosting and email bundle without purchasing every service separately.

For customers requiring more administrative freedom, Virtual Hosting provides a dedicated virtual machine rather than ordinary shared webspace. Users can install Linux from a selection of operating system images and administer their own server environment remotely. Full access permits installation of additional software and configuration of services that are not supported on standard shared hosting.

The traditional virtual server configuration includes 1 CPU, 1 GB RAM, 200 GB disk storage, eight IPv4 addresses, 256 IPv6 addresses, a 100 Mbps network connection, and 1 TB of monthly transfer. This is a self-managed VPS offering suitable for technically experienced customers who need root-level control. Its resources are relatively modest compared with contemporary virtual server products, particularly for applications with significant memory or processing requirements.

Email Hosting is available as a separate service, with account packages ranging from seven to 750 email addresses. POP3 access, email aliases, and browser-based webmail provide several ways to use the service. Customers can maintain mailboxes for personal or business domains without necessarily purchasing a complete web hosting package.

Additional internet services include Dynamic DNS, which associates a changing IP address with a hostname. This is useful for operating a small server or remotely accessible network service over an internet connection without a permanently assigned public IP address. Dynamic DNS update software is available for Windows and Linux.

Domain Forwarding provides a simpler alternative to web hosting when a domain only needs to redirect visitors to an existing website. Both single-host redirection and more comprehensive redirect services are available.

The company also maintains Reseller Services for organizations managing domains on behalf of customers. The reseller platform includes account access, subaccount management, domain registration and transfers, contact administration, nameserver management, and an XML-based automation interface.

The XML interface supports domain availability checks, price inquiries, authentication code generation for supported extensions, DNSSEC operations, domain expiry information, and financial transaction queries. Communication supports TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, while older SSL protocols and unencrypted connections are excluded. These capabilities are especially relevant to hosting providers, web agencies, and domain resellers seeking automated administration.

Beyond traditional hosting, internic operates internet telephony services through ENUMIC. These include ENUM-related services, virtual telephone systems, SIP and IAX2 connectivity, telephone number forwarding, and virtual PBX solutions. Such offerings distinguish the company from hosting businesses focused exclusively on websites and servers.

The website supports English and German, with additional Filipino-language localization. German remains particularly important for contractual information, and some English-language product sections retain German technical explanations. This mixed localization can make the experience less convenient for international customers unfamiliar with German.

One considerable weakness is the website's aging design and product documentation. The layout and navigation reflect an earlier generation of hosting portals, and certain sections are not particularly comfortable on modern mobile devices. More importantly, the general price list still carries an effective date of April 4, 2011, while the homepage retained a telephone-support announcement concerning December 2025. Although this does not necessarily reflect the age of the underlying infrastructure, it limits the usefulness of the online catalog for customers comparing current hosting offers.
