20 Years of 4FriendsOnly.com Internet Technologies AG




We are turning 20!

This year we were able to celebrate a milestone in our company history, as 4FriendsOnly.com Internet Technologies AG turned 20 years old."

In 2000, we started as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer IDMT and Ilmenau University of Technology. We had numerous ideas and projects that we implemented.

Our beginnings involved the development of a game feature platform, which also influenced our company name, as users who recommended games to their friends were rewarded with a small token.

Through the game feature platform, Paybest was launched. With Paybest, one could now pay for services on the internet. Among the payment options were paying via telephone, paysafecard, Paybox, and even PayPal.

With the Potato system, we invented a fair music distribution system. Labels and artists could offer their music through our system. The buyers of the music received not only the song but also the distribution rights. If the buyers then resold the song, they received a specific commission

All our projects and inventions have brought us to where our company stands today, even though the mentioned projects are no longer current and online.

Today, we can consider ourselves as an established company in the field of B2B and B2C e-commerce. You can learn more about what we have already done under the 'Projects' section on our website

Hereby, we would like to thank all our employees, customers, friends, and partners who have supported and accompanied us, 4FriendsOnly.com Internet Technologies AG, over the past 20 years.
