[tantek] I think we may have a page for that sort of discussion, perhaps linked from /longevity?

[jacky] you know, this makes me wonder if I should start "investing" in my domain
#
[jacky] like paying for more than a year in advance (as well as with hosting)
#
[jacky] that'd be taking a bet of sorts on one's commitments and what not (but I think that makes me _not_ want to commit lol)
#
[schmarty] i've been thinking about this lately as well 😅
#
[jacky] I'm more likely to commit to my domain name than my hosting provider tbh
#
[jacky] what's prompted that thinking for you, schmarty?
#
[schmarty] prices going up, some folks paying for more years up front to lock in prices, my own frustration tending to annual renewal emails, meditating on mortality. you know. web things, ha.
#
[jacky] heh tbh the thing re: prices going up isn't something I considered
#
[jacky] now wonders if this applies for physical rent too or would it be just treated as "credit" to one's balance?
#
gRegor most assuredly the latter
#
gRegor landlords--
#
Loqi landlords has -1 karma over the last year
#
[jacky] missed chance on them for committed bulk rent payers!
#
[snarfed] I mean, that's just a lease, right? ie a longer one than month to month
#
[snarfed] I guess => #indieweb-chat
#
aaronpk i've been renewing my most stable domains for 3-5 years at a time. some I have renewed to the max of 10 years
