persist

Links break.
This one won't.

A web address for your files that still works in twenty years — even if we don't. Yours to keep, hand on, or sell.

.persist

$20, once. No renewal, ever.

Why you'd want one

Half the links in a ten-year-old article are already dead. Anything you publish that outlives a website — a citation, a QR code on something printed, a dataset, a reference someone follows in a decade — is a bet that somebody keeps paying a hosting bill.

We took the bill out of it.

Live, right now

Four folders, published the same way yours will be. Each is a real address you can open.

How it works

Pick your name

Anything from three to forty characters. It's yours the moment you pay.

Drop in your files

One file or five hundred. Photos, an album, documents, a whole website.

That's it, forever

No renewals. No subscription. Nothing to cancel.

It's a folder, not a file

Drop in one file or five hundred. A folder of photos, an album, a set of documents, a whole website. By default you get a clean page people can browse. If it looks like photos we'll offer to make it a gallery; if it looks like an album we'll offer a player. Your choice, and you can change it later.

You own it

The name is yours outright. Keep it, give it to someone, or sell it — it moves the way a deed moves, and whoever holds it controls where it points. We can't take it back and we can't stop you selling it.

Why it lasts

Your files aren't on our servers. They're on a storage network that was paid, once, to keep them for the next two centuries.

We can't take the link back or point it somewhere else. Not "we promise not to" — we gave up the ability, permanently, and you can check.

You get two addresses. yourname.persist is the one to share. The second is a permanent id for the files themselves — any gateway serves it, including ones we have nothing to do with.

If we go out of business, the second one still works.

GoDaddy .com renewal $21.99/yr, September 2026, assuming you host free. One year of a domain costs more than this does ever. And free hosting tiers get discontinued too — Heroku ended theirs in 2022.

This isn't a replacement for a domain. It's for keeping something reachable, permanently, without anyone having to remember.
