Well, and pay registrar and hosting fees for 100 years, and then just hope the hosting company doesn't fold in the interim after your passing. The problem isn't "can you make sure it stays up while you're alive", the problem is, after you're gone, you're no longer there to keep the flame alive and there are no guarantees anyone else picks up the torch.
Does this suggest a subscription(ish) business where you pay the hosting company for N years and then they ensure your website stays up and unchanged for N years after you die? Quality control issue?
Given how many things want me to pay a subscription while I'm alive, surely somebody will start charging me when I'm dead. It is the logical conclusion of SaaS. I wanted to create an acronym for this, but death as a service didn't seem like the best choice.
There’s the WordPress 100 Year Plan or 100 Year Domain: https://wordpress.com/100-year/
100-Year Plan: $38,000 (hosting and domain)
100-Year Domain: $2,000 (one-time purchase, no annual renewals)
There is certainly precedent for this - will executors for example. How about “SCITA? Service continues in the afterlife.
SCIP, in perpetuity?
Software after Death as a Service?
