Estonia’s Zone Joins Your.Online, a Roll-Up Now More Than 60 Deals Deep
by Natalia Nowak · 3 Aug 2026
Your.Online has added Estonia's Zone to a portfolio of 46 brands built through more than 60 acquisitions. The pattern in that list matters: the group already owns Gandi, Blacknight, Heart Internet and o2switch, and is now buying the operators each country names first.

GoDaddy's Q2 2026: revenue up 6.6%, EPS up 30%, customers up by just 22,000. ARPU, upsell and an $851.8 million buyback are doing the work, and the segment split shows domains and hosting growing slowest of all.

Infomaniak Goes Public Without Losing Control
by Natalia Nowak · 30 Jul 2026
The Swiss host is listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange by reversing into Perrot Duval, a company listed since 1905, to fund sovereign-cloud data centres. The twist: its foundation keeps majority voting rights, so Infomaniak reaches the market while writing permanent independence into its structure.
