I bought lifetime email, domain and couple other things from my webhosting provider in 2000 for 3 times the annual price for these services. They were a new company back then and probably needed some cash quick. They are still honouring their commitment, almost quarter of a century later and I believe it is fair. I have no idea what was their situation at the time or whether they used the money well. But you could think about it as if you have invested a little bit of extra cash in the company and you got lifetime service from them. The extra money I gave them probably helped them build the company and may have had at that moment the same present value as all those discounted future maintenance costs. In any case, the deal was clear and whether it makes business sense is not customers' problem.
