Exactly the point of this thread... It sometimes is manually impossible to remember the Renewal of a Domain Name 10 yrs later.. It is also likely to skip the mail that is sent for Renewal... Hence, Auto Renew is a very useful feature for Domains that are important...

You can not renew your domain name for a life. Most of the registrar only allows to renew the domain name for the maximum 10 years. You can set your domain on auto renewal.

I guess some web hosting companies allow you to keep the domain name forever so long as you keep feeding them money to continue the hosting service.

This one has a simple answer... No.

Auto-renewal is not a bad option, if you know that you will always be able to afford the registration cost - year in, year out. I'd personally opt for registering a domain for multiple years, if I can afford it at the time.

Yes auto-renewal is a good choice if you want to keep your domain name for years to come. You just need to remember to always have money in whichever account you would use for your payment.

Yes,free domain name for life just for the hosting's life.
But if you think the hosting is reliable , technical support is excellent and timely,the price is reasonable etc,why are you change it to another one .

in 50-100 years a lot of things will change... so you might just waste your money... and if there would be a lifetime registration - it would be waaaaay to expensive I think

As mentioned earlier, 10 years is the maximum.

To be honest I'm not sure if I'd want to pay for one for life - who knows how the web will change in the future? Perhaps domain names may not be as used in, say, 20 years?
