Leading global hosting provider expands ongoing partnership with Sectigo as trusted Certificate Authority partner
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sectigo, a global leader in digital certificates and automated Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), today announced its expanded partnership with IONOS, one of the world’s largest hosting providers and the leading European cloud provider. With over 22 million domains and 100,000 servers, IONOS will now offer Sectigo’s cutting-edge CLM and security solutions to IONOS’ broad customer base of over 6 million worldwide. As the official public certificate provider for IONOS, IONOS brands can now receive all certificate needs – including SSL/TLS, eIDAS and S/MIME certificates – through a centralized platform and unified API.
The proliferation of digital certificates continues to grow as small and medium-sized businesses ramp up their digital transformation.

“We are proud to expand our ongoing relationship with IONOS and now become their official Certificate Authority partner. The collaboration underscores our expertise in providing large-scale certificate lifecycle management solutions and opens new avenues for growth and innovation,” said Kevin Weiss, chief executive officer at Sectigo. “Sectigo and IONOS are poised to achieve remarkable success together, setting new standards in digital trust and security.”
The strategic partnership also sees Sectigo offering IONOS a wide range of security products specifically adapted to European requirements. Included is Sectigo’s multi-language support and simplified group-wide reporting and billing functions to better serve the 10 market-leading international brands operating under the IONOS umbrella such as STRATO, Arsys, Fasthosts, and home PL.
