I am sure this is not for the average folks right?

ICANN limits registrations to 10 years, how will WP bypass this?
Also, everyone at WP/Automattic/everything else…….will not be alive in 100 years.

Here is what I pay:

Hosting: $15 a month, so $180 a year
.com domain: $11 a year
.ca domain: $16 a year
.net domain: $13 a year
.org domain: $13 a year

So $233 a year. $23,300 for the next 100 years.

The costs will for sure raise for hosting and domains, the wholesale price WP pays for domains, servers and so forth.

The average person will not put $37,000 USD on their credit card. In the 100 years with my current provider(s) I’d save $13,700 over WordPress’s offer.

To answer the next question some of you might have: the .ca, .net and .org redirect to the .com.

There is no guarantee that the current management will change and future will not want to honour the deals.

This is too ambitious.

What if the maintaining costs go up, what will WP do to cut expenses down to keep profit. EVERYONE WANTS A PROFIT.
