100 Year Domains?
So I recently received a notice to renew one of my domains. As anyone with a domain knows, the longer you renew for, the bigger your discount is …
However! This notice had an option to renew for 100 Years! I can see renewing for 10, but 100? Imagine the year is 1907, and you have to renew for a license to use a telegraph. Would you spring for 100 years? Believe me, I love the internet. I even left Autodesk in 1995 to go work with it full-time, because I could see where it was going, and they couldn’t. But that doesn’t mean I think it will be around for 100 years. What do you think?
