permanent.org has a model for blob storage that I really like and think could equally be applied to web hosting: instead of paying monthly for the service you pay a bit more up front just one time and this is put into a nonprofit endowment which is used to fund the storage costs. It may not last for 500 years, but it seems more likely to last quite a bit longer than your basic web host.
