The Future of the Internet: Building for the Long-Term

Secure Your Digital Legacy for Generations to Come

The internet is constantly evolving, with platforms rising and falling in popularity, websites disappearing, links becoming obsolete, and domains expiring. At WordPress.com, we’re committed to building for the long-term. We’re excited to introduce 100-Year Domains and relaunch our 100-Year Plan, two powerful ways to secure your digital legacy for generations to come.

100-Year Domains: Protect Your Domain Name for a Century

With 100-Year Domains, you can lock in your .com, .org, .net, or .blog domain for a full century — ensuring that what you create today remains accessible for the future and safeguarded from expiration, platform changes, and digital decay.

The future of the internet is fragile. Domains and hosting plans expire. This is how history gets lost. Our 100-Year Domains fight back against this digital impermanence—ensuring that your work, your name, your mission, and your voice remain accessible far beyond the limits of today’s platforms and policies.

Benefits of 100-Year Domains

• No expiration surprises
• No lost domains due to admin mistakes
• No stress about renewals—ever (or 100 years, whichever comes first)
• A full century of security for your domain
• One-time payment with no annual renewals

The 100-Year Plan: Own Your Online Legacy for 100 Years

Our 100-Year Plan was always about long-term digital preservation. But we’ve taken it further, introducing new features that ensure your website and data are secure, resilient, and adaptable across the next century.

Features of the 100-Year Plan

• 10-year initial registration, with automatic annual renewals
• Special numbered trust accounts to ensure seamless management and continuity
• Contingency planning for digital security, with robust protocols and financial investment
• Standalone 100-Year Domains, allowing for greater flexibility in long-term planning
• LOTS of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) principle storage, ensuring data redundancy in the event of failures or disasters
• Commemorative website placard to commemorate your 100-Year website

For creators, organizations, and institutions, our 100-Year Plan is a commitment to ensuring your name, story, brand, or mission stands the test of time.

Who Should Get a 100-Year Plan or Domain?

Whether you’re a creator, entrepreneur, institution, or someone thinking about the long game, the 100-Year Plan and 100-Year Domains ensure your online presence is protected for the future.

Long-term plans and domains are great for:
