How to buy a domain permanently?

Question

Domain Name System

All providers offer a tariff for a maximum of 5 years, how can one permanently "score" a domain behind oneself?

Answer 1

No way.
A domain name cannot be redeemed . No, you can create a new TLD and pay a fee to ICANN - and hand out names yourself - but I don't think this is your case :)
But you can't, because a domain name is not a product , but a service . It is rented out for a fixed period. Auto-renewal occurs automatically (usually), so in order not to worry about the ownership of the name, it is enough to deposit many, many money on the account with the registrar - and it will be automatically renewed.

Answer 2

So in general, the system of renting domain names operates in the world, and this is good. Otherwise, people would buy domains forever, die and the domains would never be released.

Answer 3

ICANN documentation
domain names can be registered or renewed for a period of 1-10 years and no
domain shall extend beyond 10 years in the future to"expire.

Therefore, only with the help of auto-renewal (auto-renewal)

Answer 4

A domain is a service - how to calculate "forever" is 10, 100, 1000, 1000000 years?
Maybe it's just enough to connect auto payment from an account with a small amount?
Or your "forever" is associated with savings - so that the cost of a domain per year turns out to be a penny.

Answer 5

International domains can be renewed up to 10 years, but no more.
Each zone has its own rules. For example, national .RU and .РФ can be extended for a maximum of 1 year.

Answer 6

1. A domain name is not a product, but a service. It cannot be redeemed for life, you need to pay the cost of the service for a year (several years).
2. It is rare that a registrar offers the opportunity to pay for longer than 1 year - do not forget about inflation. It happens, of course, for 2 and 5 years, but longer?
