Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Intercolo is an object storage provider from Germany. The service speaks the S3 API, so tools and applications that already work with S3 can be pointed at it without changes, and outgoing traffic is not charged, which keeps the bill predictable for data that is read often.

All servers belong to Intercolo itself and stand in Germany, powered entirely by sustainable energy sources. That makes it a European alternative to the American storage clouds, suited to backups, media libraries and any workload where egress fees would otherwise dominate the cost.

Pricing

Storage costs 4.99 euros per TB per month. Incoming traffic is free, and outgoing traffic is free within a fair use policy.

Current DNS record ↗Provider setup guide ↗

This is a targeted check, not a complete zone inventory. Generic Google and Microsoft verification tokens are ignored because they do not prove product use or a data flow. DNS normally cannot list arbitrary subdomains or customer-chosen DKIM selectors, including Salesforce selectors. Missing signals are not proof that a provider is unused.
