“Unlocking the Future: What Our Century-Long Domains Reveal About Tomorrow’s Digital Landscape”
The internet never sleeps, and neither should your website.
The 100-Year Plan: Own your online legacy for 100 years
Our 100-Year Plan, which was originally introduced in 2023, has always been about long-term digital preservation. But we’ve taken it even further, introducing new features that ensure your website and data are secure, resilient, and adaptable across the next century.
- Special numbered trust accounts: We help you administer a secure, numbered trust account system, ensuring seamless management and continuity over the next century.
- Contingency planning for digital security: Robust protocols and financial investment systems guarantee the continuity of your online presence, even if WordPress.com or Automattic face unexpected challenges.
- Standalone 100-Year Domains: For the first time, domains can be purchased independently of hosting, giving you more flexibility in long-term planning.
- Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe (LOCKSS) principle storage: WordPress.com stores all of your data in at least three separately mirrored data centers to ensure access and redundancy in the event of failures or disasters. In addition, 100-Year Plan websites will have active snapshot backups in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine and the Wayback Linkfixer plugin to redirect any links that go bad on your site to the most recent one at the Internet Archive.
- Commemorative website placard: We are creating a custom metal and glass placard to commemorate your 100-Year website that will be sent to you as a display and reminder of your commitment to your future.
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.
