It wasn't a true 100-year registration: you paid up front, they would register the domain name for as long as possible (usually ten years), then promised to keep renewing it for the full 100-year period. This of course assumes that Network Solutions will remain in business for the next century... | |

But once it's registered in your name you pay the same renewal fees as everyone else. Most registrars allow you to register/renew domains for up to 10 years (not sure if that is the limit?). | |

whois facebook.com says that it currently expires 2020-03-29T21:00:00-0700. I have no idea what you read, but they've only prepaid their domain registration for another five years.
