NameSilo Technologies Corp. reported its 2025 full-year results in late April, showing revenue of $65.5 million, up 18.5% from $55.2 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA rose 84.3% to $5.3 million. The company swung from a net loss of $304,878 in 2024 to a net profit of $2.2 million. It ended the year with zero debt. On the same balance sheet, NameSilo Technologies (which trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under ticker URL) now also holds two robotics companies: one that inspects large-diameter sewer pipes, and one that builds subsea camera systems. How those fit with a domain registrar is a question the results raise but do not fully answer.
Eight Consecutive Years of Revenue Growth
The domain registrar business has grown without interruption since the company was acquired in 2018, when it generated roughly $10.6 million in annual revenue and managed 1.85 million domains. By the end of 2025, it manages 6.26 million domains across all TLDs, having added more than 800,000 in 2025 alone, and serves customers in approximately 160 countries. The company describes itself in the annual results as one of the ten largest domain registrars in the world by domain count, a claim that reflects total domains across all TLDs; by .com domains specifically, which Domain Name Wire tracks as the primary competitive metric, NameSilo sits outside the top ten, where the field is led by GoDaddy at 52.8 million, Namecheap at 11.6 million, and Newfold Digital at 10.7 million.
The company describes its pricing as among the lowest in the industry, and the growth bears that out. Support for more than 150 payment methods including cryptocurrency and a product experience oriented toward bulk and reseller customers have contributed to eight years of uninterrupted growth. Adding 800,000 domains organically in a single year at this scale is significant, and doing it without acquisitions makes the number harder to dismiss.
Margin Expansion at Scale
The 2025 results are notable not just for revenue growth but for what happened to margins alongside it. Gross margin rose from 21.9% to 25.6%. Operating income more than doubled, from $4.1 million to $7.8 million. Operating cash flow grew 46.7% to $9.7 million. These are not the numbers of a company buying growth at the expense of profitability. They describe a business that is becoming more profitable as it adds volume, which is worth noting in a market where thin margins and high customer counts are the norm.
The balance sheet reinforces that picture. Deferred revenues stand at $32.75 million, representing domain registrations and renewals paid in advance that convert to recognised revenue over the coming months. That figure gives a clear picture of near-term revenue before a single new sale is made. Combined with the elimination of all debt and $3.6 million cash on hand, NameSilo Technologies can make investment decisions without external pressure. It used some of that room to repurchase 639,500 shares during the year.
The Robotics Context
NameSilo Technologies completed two acquisitions that have nothing to do with domain registration. In September 2025, it signed the definitive agreement to acquire SewerVue Technologies Corp. for C$2.45 million in cash. SewerVue builds robotic inspection systems for large-diameter pipes and drainage infrastructure, using multi-sensor technology (pipe-penetrating radar, LiDAR, sonar, and HD-CCTV) to detect voids, measure wall thickness, and assess remaining asset life. Its customers are municipalities, mining corporations, and engineering firms. The acquisition is listed among the company’s 2025 highlights in the annual results.
The second acquisition, Reach Systems, closed on February 17, 2026, after the fiscal year. The total consideration was $4.5 million, paid in a mix of shares and cash plus repayment of shareholder loans. Reach Systems designs and manufactures remote inspection equipment: cable and tether management systems, underwater and subsea camera solutions, and winch systems for industrial applications. CEO Paul Andreola described the strategic intent: the acquisition provides “significant robotics and autonomous platform exposure” across oil and gas, petrochemical, defense, and marine sectors, and creates “immediate synergies” with SewerVue through vertically integrated multi-sensor products.
The combined robotics spend, roughly C$2.45 million for SewerVue and $4.5 million for Reach Systems, is modest against a balance sheet generating $9.7 million in annual operating cash flow. But the direction is deliberate. A company that wanted to reinvest within the domain and hosting space, expanding into SSL, email, or cloud services, would typically do exactly that. NameSilo Technologies is instead building an industrial robotics portfolio in parallel, which tells you something about how the parent company sees its own future: less as a web services business and more as a holding company that happens to own a profitable registrar.

The Question Domain Resellers Have Been Asking
For domain resellers and registrar partners, the 2025 results answer a question that has hung over NameSilo for years: can the pricing model last? The concern with discount registrars has historically been whether aggressive pricing survives without continuous external funding. Eight consecutive years of revenue growth, a swing to profitability, zero debt, and $9.7 million in operating cash flow describe a business that is not burning through reserves to keep prices low.
For hosting providers who include domain registration in their stack, the growth numbers carry a practical implication. Many use NameSilo’s reseller and API program to source domains wholesale. A registrar adding 800,000 domains organically, while improving margins and carrying no debt, is a more reliable long-term partner than one dependent on outside capital to hold prices down. The 2025 results make the case that NameSilo’s position in the market is consolidating, not eroding.
The robotics acquisitions say something specific about the parent company’s capital priorities: the cash generated by the domain registrar is being directed into industrial technology, not reinvested into adjacent web services. Whether NameSilo the registrar develops hosting or cloud products independently is a separate question, and the 2025 results do not answer it. What is clear is that the parent holding company is running a profitable registrar alongside an unrelated robotics portfolio, with no visible plan to turn the domain business into a broader web services group.
