In recent months, we’ve seen a troubling trend in the European hosting and email market: more and more formerly independent providers are being acquired by international corporations – with noticeable consequences for users. One of the most striking developments is the widespread shift to Microsoft 365, often imposed without real choice.
🚨 What’s Happening?
A concrete example: After Host Europe and DomainFactory were acquired by the U.S. corporation GoDaddy, many services were migrated to Microsoft-based platforms. For countless users, this meant:
- Loss of familiar features and user interfaces
- Forced migration into a U.S.-centric ecosystem
- Higher costs for services that were previously affordable or even free
- Privacy concerns due to cloud storage outside the EU
- This shift is not only technically questionable – it also undermines the digital sovereignty of European users.
🛡️ Privacy Requires Independence
Especially when it comes to email, trust is essential. Anyone handling sensitive communication should be able to rely on their data not being analyzed, shared, or used for advertising. The transition to Microsoft 365 introduces precisely these risks – particularly for businesses, freelancers, and organizations with elevated privacy requirements.
