Despite the rapid growth of Africa’s digital economy, domain ownership remains extremely low compared to global markets. Many entrepreneurs are unable to purchase domains due to international payment restrictions or foreign currency requirements.
Gebeya announced a strategic partnership with InterNetX, a European domain registrar and part of the IONOS Group, to enable domain registration directly inside Gebeya’s platforms. The integration will allow African entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses to search, purchase, and manage domains using local payment methods.
The partnership will integrate InterNetX’s domain platform, AutoDNS, into Gebeya’s platforms, including the Jitume AI service marketplace and the Dala AI creator studio. This integration will enable African entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses to purchase and manage domains using local payment methods, thereby eliminating the traditional barriers of international credit card and foreign exchange requirements.
Meeting Critical Demand in Africa’s Digital Economy
Gebeya has onboarded more than 90,000 users across its platforms, including Gebeya Jitume, the AI service marketplace, and Dala Studio, the AI creator platform. Feedback from users consistently highlighted one major barrier: the inability to purchase professional domains due to international credit card requirements and USD payment restrictions.
This partnership directly addresses that gap. Through a white-label integration, Gebeya will embed AutoDNS’s domain search, registration, and SSL provisioning capabilities directly within its platforms, allowing users to complete their professional online presence in a few minutes using local payments.
A Shared Vision for African Digital Sovereignty
“We are building the operating system for Africa’s service economy, and a professional web presence is fundamental to that vision,” said Amadou Daffe, CEO of Gebeya. “By partnering with InterNetX, we can offer our users seamless domain access without the friction of international payments. This is about enabling millions of African entrepreneurs to own their digital identity and compete globally.”
Elias Rendón Berger, CEO of InterNetX, added: “Partnering with Gebeya allows InterNetX to support Africa’s next wave of digital entrepreneurs. By combining our infrastructure with Gebeya’s deep market understanding and local payment rails, we’re making it easier than ever for African businesses to establish a credible, secure online presence.”
What This Means for African Creators and Entrepreneurs
