Introducing the 100-Year Plan: Secure Your Online Legacy for a Century
An exceptional new plan for those who want to secure their online legacy for a lifetime—and then some.
For almost 20 years, WordPress.com has been committed to providing a user-friendly and stable platform where anyone with a story to tell can do so freely and securely. Many of our customers have been with us from the beginning, and we’re proud to have been a partner in their digital journeys.
Now, we’re thrilled to announce something truly new and exceptional: a plan designed exclusively for those seeking the ultimate in security and longevity for their digital presence.
Safeguard your online legacy with the 100-Year Plan. This brand-new offering is for:
- Families who wish to preserve their digital assets—the stories, photos, sounds, and videos that make up their rich family history—for generations to come.
- Founders who want to protect and document their company’s past, present, and future.
- Individuals seeking a stable, flexible, and customized online home that can adapt to whatever changes the future of technology will bring.
WordPress.com has played an integral role in creating and stewarding the software that powers nearly half the web and remains the most trusted CMS on the planet. Our managed hosting provides blazing fast load times, airtight security, privacy protection, and everything else you’ve come to expect from a top-of-the-line host. Those elements remain our north star and are a crucial foundation for the millions of customers who trust us with their online presence.
But the 100-Year Plan transcends conventional hosting. Included in this unique offer:
- Century-Long Domain Registration: A domain is your most valuable digital asset. While standard domain registrations last a decade, our 100-Year Plan gives you an opportunity to secure your domain for a full century.
- Even More Peace of Mind: As guardians of your life’s work, we take our duty seriously. At the platform level, we maintain multiple backups of your content across geographically distributed data centers, automatically submit your site to the Internet Archive if it’s public, and will provide an optional locked mode.
- Enhanced Ownership Protocols: Navigate life’s milestones with ease. Whether you’re gifting a site to a newborn or facilitating a smooth transfer of ownership, we’re here to assist every step of the way.
- Top-Tier Managed WordPress Hosting: The very best managed WordPress experience with unmetered bandwidth, best-in-class speed, and unstoppable security bundled in one convenient package.
- Premier Support: The WordPress.com 100-Year Plan includes our highest level of support from WordPress experts that we call Happiness Engineers.
The 100-Year Plan isn’t just about today. It’s an investment in tomorrow. Whether you’re cementing your own digital legacy or gifting 100 years of a trusted platform to a loved one, this plan is a testament to the future’s boundless potential.
The cost is $38,000. We hope people renew. If you’re interested in learning more, fill out the form found here:

I really like this idea! Normally, when we die, our websites die, unless there’s someone else renewing the domain name and hosting. I might sign up when I’m much older, as I want my photography website to live even after I’m gone. 😅

Without content you have no business model.
So it is in your interest that our content is also secured with you in the future.
I would appreciate it if the users could be provided with more free web space. I mean for free to expand your offer. There are also a few tools to make the websites and blogs better and clearer.
I would be very happy if you would do more for these free users.
Kind regards

100 year plan feels like an unnecessary promise. It honestly feels like another marketing gimmick to keep users.
An option to disconnect after a person passes away would be good. It needs to be a choice when a person starts a blog. 3-5 emails notifications reminding the person that the blog will be deleted if they don’t log in.
I wish all social media platforms did the same. But they don’t. The legacy I feel is more about the platform rather than the user.

Thanks for the feedback! We’ve also heard from many users who choose our service because they want to keep their sites up long after they pass away. In the past, they’ve had to strategize so that their sites will eventually downgrade gracefully to a free plan. We’re aiming to have better options for them, and we’ll note your feedback, too. Thanks!

As anything can happen in a scale of 100 years(from the closing of wordpress to nuclear war) You need to prepare measures for the wildest cases that can endanger the continuing of the 100 year plan

100 years is a long time. I’d love to see similar options but for shorter periods of time e.g. 10, 25 and 50 years as no one knows what the future will hold

It’s good to have this option, but hopefully it wont be the only one to give websites some longevity, especially if they contain resources that others are likely to continue to find useful. if you ever want to set up a discussion around different needs and options, I’d be happy to participate.
