It comes down to the person running the website has to care. That's it. It doesn't matter how simple it is if the person doesn't care.
In my own case, I've been running my own website for 24 years now [1]. The URLs I started out with have remained the same (although some have gone, and yes, I return 410 for those) and the technology hasn't changed much either (it was Apache 24 years ago, it's still Apache today; my blog engine [2] was a C-based CGI program, and it's still a C-based CGI program. The rest of the site is static, and there's no Javascript (except for one page). I can see it lasting at least six more years, and probably more. But I care.
[1] Started out on a physical server (an AMD 586) and a few years later on a virtual server.

- remus 4y ago> It comes down to the person running the website has to care. Personally I think it is a little more nuanced, in particular I think the relationship between how much someone cares and how much effort is required to keep the website online is what matters. If your website is super simple you don't need to care about it very much (though you do need to care at least a little bit). On the other hand, if everyone who works at google suddenly quit tomorrow because they didn't care the stack of cards would fall over very quickly because it's a lot of work maintaining millions of servers.
