Ask HN: Any hosting service provider giving lifetime instances?
Life time maybe 50 or 100 years with an upfront one time huge payment.

- codegladiator 7y agoOkay domain becomes a problem, but lets say I am willing to expose over IP and not worry about domain for now.
- verdverm 7y agoWhy? It would likely become a more expensive solution as technology progressed and legacy skills to maintain became more obsolete.
- codegladiator 7y agoSay some community gathers and makes a "public infrastructure" endpoint. Collects some funds, buys a box for X years. Maybe later another feature to do a round of public funds again when the life time ends if the endpoint remains useful after X years. But no has authority to delete it. Could be a DNS server or Mail server or NTP.
