GMX Email and Cloud Services

GMX (Global Message eXchange) is one of Germany's most established internet service providers, primarily known for its free and professional email services, cloud storage, and news portal. Founded in 1997, it quickly became a leading platform in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

The brand is fundamentally German, with its technical infrastructure, including data centers and servers, primarily located within Germany to adhere to strict German data protection laws (GDPR). This local hosting is a core part of its branding strategy, emphasizing security and privacy for its millions of users.

GMX is owned by United Internet AG, a major European internet service provider headquartered in Montabaur, Germany. Through its subsidiary 1&1 Mail & Media Applications SE, United Internet manages GMX alongside its sister brand, Web.de. This corporate structure allows GMX to maintain a dominant position in the European digital communication market.
