What Greenmark IT does

Greenmark IT GmbH is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and web hosting provider headquartered in Alfeld (Leine), Germany. The company manages over 750,000 domains across gTLDs and European ccTLDs (.de via DENIC, .eu via EURid, .at via nic.at, .ch via SWITCH), supplemented by partnerships with Radix, GMO Registry, and it.com for new gTLD inventory. It operates two customer-facing brands — do.de for self-service direct registration and resellerinterface.com for white-label B2B channel partners — and offers an optional paid add-on called Domain-Safe for domain configuration backups.

The company's technology consists of a proprietary registration and management platform with over 10 million lines of internally developed source code, an RDAP query service for gTLD lookups, and a Reseller Interface that exposes registration infrastructure to third-party domain providers. Web hosting is delivered with a 99% monthly availability SLA and a credit top-up payment model. Integrations are limited to standard payment processors (Klarna, PayPal, Amazon Pay, SEPA) and newsletter platforms (CleverReach, Brevo); no public API, SDK, or developer portal is documented.

Greenmark IT is privately held by two Managing Directors, Andreas Gundelach and Ali Jasarov, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring domain registration and renewal fees (standard gTLD renewals at €35/year, premium gTLDs at €55/year, specialty gTLDs at €175/year), supplemented by usage-based web hosting, optional Domain-Safe subscriptions, and one-time domain restoration fees (€85–€230). The customer base is a long-tail mix of individual registrants, SMBs, and reseller channel partners, served globally from a single German headquarters.
