About Web.com Group, Inc.
Web.com Group was a Jacksonville, Florida, company that provided websites, hosting, domain names, e-commerce tools and online marketing services to small businesses. Its roots go back to Website Pros, founded in 1999 with backing from Norwest Venture Partners, which built its business by acquiring companies such as NetObjects and 1ShoppingCart.
Website Pros went public on Nasdaq in 2005. In 2007 it bought the original Web.com of Atlanta for about $129 million and renamed itself Web.com in early 2008, adopting the WWWW ticker. It then acquired Register.com in 2010 and Network Solutions in 2011 for about $405 million in cash plus stock, becoming one of the largest providers of web services to small companies. In 2016 it bought the local marketing firm Yodle.
In June 2018 private equity firm Siris Capital Group agreed to acquire Web.com for $25 per share. After a competing proposal emerged, Siris raised its offer to $28 per share in cash in August 2018, valuing the company at around $2 billion including debt. Shareholders approved the improved deal.
The transaction closed in October 2018 and the shares were delisted from Nasdaq. In 2021 Web.com was combined with Endurance Web Presence to form Newfold Digital, and the Web.com brand was later folded into Network Solutions in 2025.
