You can't permanently buy a domain name. Most registrars only let you register one for up to 10 years. Web hosting wouldn't even last that long.
HTML itself will fair well, it's human readable and trivial to parse.
Your best bet is you or the content being important enough for other people to take care of it for you, copying and sharing it, converting it to their media. Of course cultures change, and by 2050 the planet will be barely habitable, so they will change a lot. A culture that decides to preserve your website might get wiped out, or the infrastructure does. There might not be even an internet anymore.

- Comevius 4y agoYou can request IPv6 addresses from a RIR, but that won't last forever either, and nobody will visit your site, not even the search engines. People wouldn't be even able to open it for long, since most browsers are going to require SSL, and who knows what other changes are coming in the future that require a domain name.
