Most registries limit domain lifetimes to 10 years. You can't renew a domain if doing so would put the lifetime beyond 10 years -- the registry will refuse to perform the operation.

Clearly there are companies that offer extension as a service, you pay 20 times as much and they promise to extend your domain 10 times.

That just moves the problem though, how likely is it that that company will be around in 90 years to perform the last extension?
