[Under ICANN rules](https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/faqs-84-2012-02-25-en#10), registrations are not allowed to be longer than a ten-year term. Some companies, most notably [Network Solutionsns](https://www.networksolutions.com), offer a 100-year term when you buy a domain name, but as far as I can tell, this is really just doing a 10-year term which the company renews each subsequent decade. This might be exactly what you're looking for, but you're relying on the company remaining in business for that whole hundred years to actually renew it.- There's currently no technical solution to ensure a renewal term longer than ten years. The only way to ensure this happens would be to have an attorney establish a trust or similar legal entity with the responsibility and funds to continually renew the domain for many, many years.
