Money comes from recurring subscriptions for domains, hosting, and website tools, with a gross margin around 63.8% and net margin near 17.8%, making it a steady, high-margin annuity business.
Its massive domain registry and brand lock-in create switching costs, but cloud giants like Amazon Web Services and Shopify are undercutting hosting and e-commerce, eroding its small-business base.
