WordPress 100-year plan
Yusuf Musa, iWeb.ng’s CEO said a price decrease would determine whether his company would buy this package. “Only with a more competitive pricing structure could I justify the inherent risks of such a long-term commitment,” Yusuf said.
As was said, the plan will cost $38K (about N29 million). Some corporations can afford it, but most cannot. On affordability, Tooltester creator and CEO Robert Brandl said the fee was high.
“The $380 per year fee isn’t worth it. You would pay far less than WP Engine’s or Kinsta’s most expensive premium WordPress hosting.
What does the WordPress Century Plan come with?
In the public announcement, these parts of the plan were called out:
Domain bought for the next 100 years
Multiple copies of information at different data centres in different places
Managed WordPress server that is “top-tier.”
Unlimited broadband means sending and receiving as much data as you want.
Support that is dedicated and one-on-one is provided. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day
GoDaddy’s Multi-Year Security failure leads to source code theft
Who does the 100-Year Plan serve?
WordPress says that the plan is for people, families, and business founders who want to keep a record of their company’s history.
The message explains:
“Families who want to keep their stories, photos, sounds, and videos that are part of their wealthy family past safe for future generations
Founders who want to protect and record the past, present, and future of their business
People who want a stable, fluid, and personalized online home that can change as technology does in the future
It looks like they’re going after people who want to keep their stories alive.
Matt Mullenweg, the CEO of WordPress.com, says, “I hope this approach gets people and other companies to think about building for the long term, whether it’s giving a newborn a domain and a home on the web for life or putting something in your will to make sure your website and story are available to future generations.”
