They let you set up 5 domains ("zones") with an infinite number of hostnames, email forwarding and whatnot for free. If you want more than 5 domains, you have to pay them a marginal amount of money. They have DNS servers spread out all over the country.

So how do they make money?

If it's from people with more than 5 domains, wouldn't it be cheaper at
some point (like Aaron with 300+ domains) to get a legitimate business
account and be able to do real two-way DNS registration for them?
