> The issue no one seems to think about is that you need to make sure to pay for the domain for the duration of your life

But that's true for any delivery endpoint in any medium, including physical mail and phone numbers.

It's pretty easy to set up auto-pay for domain names so that all you really need to do is keep the billing info up to date. After that it all runs on autopilot.

Unless your registry messes up and forgets to renew your domain. It’s happened to me before (don’t use them anymore though).
