Actually no. My intent was not to keep my site up past my grandkids lives, merely to show that a small amount of money could manage that (if that money was itself managed for that purpose). But it sure seems like that's a fun project.
I wonder what it'd take:
- An llc/ trust with enough ownership over the contents to host them
- A statement in my will that certain domains and accounts should be signed over to them
- Some executor who is tech savvy enough (probably at the LLC / Trust / Entity) to actually transfer domains, content, and set up hosting.
Given all this, it might be $5000 to host a site for 100 years, assuming $1/m ($1200) actual costs, and $20/y ($2k) domain costs, and a little extra for the execution bit.
We've basically built the wayback machine / internet archive, except with opt-in hosting at the original domain (only the ip changes, I presume).
