The WordPress.com 100-Year hosting plan is designed exclusively for those seeking the ultimate security and longevity for their digital presence. This guide will help you understand what to expect from your 100-Year Plan, both now and in the future.
In this guide
This brand-new offering is best 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.
The 100-Year Plan will help you protect your legacy with a variety of features, including the following:
In addition to our managed-hosting and built-in features from our platform, the key features of the WordPress.com Creator plan include an ad-free experience, advanced SEO tools, custom themes, plugin installation, access to 24/7 support from our Happiness Engineers, and more.
Our advanced security protocols from the Creator plan are also included in the 100-Year Plan. These security features include automated data center failover, managed malware protection, DDOS mitigation, a web application firewall, two-factor authentication, real-time backups, one-click restore, and automatic updates. We also maintain multiple backups of your content across geographically distributed data centers.
With the 100-Year Plan, you may register a domain at WordPress.com in most top-level domains we support, except premium domains and the .movie, .casino, and .creditcard domains. View the full list of our supported top-level domains.
Due to a 10-year limit for all domain registrations, our team will start with a 10-year registration and renew your domain yearly to keep it active for the life of your 100-Year Plan. If your chosen domain is no longer supported during the course of your 100-Year Plan, we will help you select a new supported domain at no additional cost.
We are currently planning to implement more functionality to enhance the 100-Year Plan experience. These upcoming features include the following:
- Ownership Protocols: We’ll offer ownership protocols to help you designate someone to take over ownership of your site.
- Submissions to the Internet Archive: Securing your digital legacy means not only ensuring the availability of your site but also preserving it. We’ll submit your site to the Internet Archive after you publish or update a page.
- Locked Mode: When you choose to put your site into Locked Mode, your site will become read-only to minimize the risk of any unauthorized changes.
As with all of our WordPress.com plans, the 100-Year Plan is subject to our Terms of Service, and you and your site must comply with the WordPress.com User Guidelines. Normally, WordPress.com usernames and URLs can be reclaimed due to prolonged inactivity, but this won’t apply to your 100-Year Plan.
Refunds for the 100-Year Plan are limited to 120 days after purchase. No refunds are available after 120 days, but please contact us anytime if you have questions or concerns about your plan. We’re here to help.
One hundred years is a long time, and a lot may change within that timeframe. While we can’t predict how technology and the internet will change, we can help explain how these changes will impact your 100-Year Plan and how our support team will help you adapt to any changes.
You should periodically review the detailed features of the Creator Plan to understand any updates or changes to your 100-Year plan features. The nature and frequency of these changes may vary, but we will strive to maintain a plan that is of equal or better value than the Creator Plan on the date of your original purchase.
In some cases, an important feature may be significantly changed or deprecated, and we will notify you in advance. If the change or deprecation is materially significant to the operation or preservation of your site, then, to the extent possible, we will work with you to provide an alternative solution of similar functionality and value. If a feature becomes technologically obsolete, an alternative feature generally will not be required due to a minimal impact to your site.
