Its portfolio spans specialized hosting products (WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, and general web hosting), VPS and dedicated servers (Root, Managed, with pre-installed n8n, Docker, and Windows variants), the AI-powered _now website builder, the Shoper SaaS e-commerce platform, and ecosystem services including Apilo (multi-marketplace management), MailerLite (email marketing), MessageFlow (marketing automation), and Sempire (SEO positioning). Underlying infrastructure combines proprietary data centers with double power feeds and UPS redundancy, LiteSpeed Cache with Redis, NVMe storage, HTTP/3, DNS Anycast across six continents, triple-layer WAF, and daily backups retained up to 28 days; the _now builder claims 83 ms page loads, an 86 PageSpeed score, and up to 67x faster WordPress performance versus standard PHP hosting.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscriptions across hosting tiers (wp_START through wp_JUMP, promotional pricing from 99 to 299 PLN/year), _now builder subscriptions at 49–99 PLN/month, domain registration, SSL certificates, VPS and dedicated server rentals, and SaaS e-commerce platform fees via Shoper and Apilo. The company reports 855 million PLN in 2025 revenue (36% CAGR from 74 million PLN in 2017), a 34% adjusted EBITDA margin, and a market capitalization exceeding 1 billion PLN with ~5x appreciation since IPO. Distribution combines a self-serve platform (cyberfolks.pl), a partner/reseller marketplace (_partners), and international expansion into the United States (cyberfolks.com), Croatia, and Romania. A planned July 2026 merger with Shoper S.A. will consolidate nine brands under a unified European e-commerce technology group, with subsidiary leadership from Vercom, PrestaShop, and MailerLite integrated into the offering.

The customer base blends enterprise logos (Toyota, LUX MED, LOT, Generali, PWPW, BLIK, Danone, Maspex) with a long tail of Polish SMBs, bloggers, freelancers, and small e-commerce operators; the company positions itself as the most popular hosting brand in Poland with NPS above 60 and a 6 minute 26 sec median email response time. CEO Jakub Dwernicki leads the management team and was awarded EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2026.
