WordPress has unveiled a bold plan to secure digital legacies for a century, but the price tag is raising eyebrows. The 100-Year Plan promises a century of hosting, data preservation, and domain security—for a hefty $38,000.
According to WordPress, the plan includes a domain, premium hosting, automated backups, and long-term security protocols. Buyers also get integration with the Internet Archive to ensure site longevity. A cheaper 100-Year Domain option costs $2,000, covering just domain registration with no hosting.
Skeptics question whether anyone should prepay for 100 years of hosting, especially with evolving tech. WordPress counters that businesses, institutions, and legacy-conscious individuals can future-proof their digital presence. The high cost supposedly protects against platform changes, cyber threats, and domain expiration.
With technology constantly shifting, the value of a $38K century-long hosting plan is uncertain. It’s a long-term bet—one that assumes WordPress and the internet itself will remain unchanged. Is it a visionary investment or an overpriced gamble?
