That's the thought I was pondering for quite some time: eternal hosting. How does one make the site eternally available?
It seems like service like this doesn't exist, possibly because nearly everyone is lost in the current moment.
The serivce that I think of should be something like cryonics. Well, not exactly. Cryonics suspends human beings for indefinite period of time in hopes of time being in hopes for future resuscitation. Eternal hosting should keep site alive, just not updated by the author anymore. But the problem is similar in both cases: how to preserve something valuable for indefinite period of time with maximum probability, no breakage and no author's intervention, to the best of our estimates and technological ability.
Seems like our society doesn't have services designed for eternity.

This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system." Except it emails a zipped copy of your online stuff to a trusted second party. I call it "Ivecheckedout.com" Ahahhahahaha I love the intarwebs.
- kragen 17y agoWell, the DNS as it exists today is especially not designed for eternity, and HTTP storing your stuff on your own server also causes problems. You may have heard of "The Eternity Service"? Also see: Freenet, Usenet, Tahoe, and medieval scriptoria.
