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?
