WordPress, a stalwart in the digital landscape for over two decades, has revealed an innovative plan designed to safeguard online legacies for generations to come — selling domains with a 100-year registration length.

The newly announced “100-Year Plan” offers customers the opportunity to secure their digital presence for a century, setting a new benchmark for longevity in the online world and enhancing the way individuals, families, and companies perceive their digital assets. 

Geared towards families seeking to preserve their cherished memories, founders documenting their company’s journey, and individuals anticipating the unpredictable changes in technology, the plan is a unique offering in online…

WordPress.com is now selling a 100-year plan, one of the longest available in the industry, for a one-time payment of $38,000. It includes managed WordPress hosting (whatever that looks like in 100 years), multiple backups across geographically distributed data centers, submission to the Internet Archive if the site is public, 24/7 dedicated support, and a domain that doesn’t need to be renewed by the customer for a century.

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, limits domain registration to a maximum of 10 years. Auto-renewing after this time requires the customer to renew on time and keep their payment method updated. A 100-year plan removes these uncertainties but still hinges on the registrar staying in business into the next century.

Priced at $38,000 USD, the 100-Year domain name plan also includes 24/7 assistance and managed web hosting

While regular domain name registrations are capped at a maximum of 10 years, WordPress has just announced a unique ‘100-Year’ domain name registration package, which comes with managed hosting and other top-notch features.

Also termed by WordPress as the ‘100 Year Plan’, the package is priced at $38,000 USD. When calculated, the yearly cost of this package is somewhere around $380, which is fair considering the amount of services that will be offered over the whole century.

Apart from 100-years of domain ownership and ‘top-tier’ hosting, users will also get Multiple backups across data centers in multiple regions, an unmetered bandwidth, which…

If you want to use a top-level domain (TLD), you have to renew the address every year in most cases. The providers of the WordPress website construction kit are now offering a special tariff that allows a domain to remain registered for a whole century.

Current packages expire after ten years

Normally, when registering the TLD, customers can only select a maximum term of ten years. The domain is then offered to other users or can be renewed. If you no longer want to think about renewal at regular intervals, WordPress.com now has the option of taking out a 100-year tariff.

This means that a website can still be reached for many decades even without active changes. This allows blog articles and related media to be preserved for future generations. The package…

If you’re worried about losing your domain name, WordPress has a 100-year deal for you.

Typically, domain registrations are capped at 10 years. With its new plan, WordPress will register and host your website for a century, meaning it will likely outlive you (and the WordPress execs who put this together, and possibly the company itself).

The idea here is to provide for companies and families that want to preserve content beyond a generation. Some suggested use cases include “families who wish to preserve their digital assets — stories, photos, sounds, and videos… for generations to come,” and “founders who want to protect and document their company’s past, present, and future.”

With the plan, customers will…
