I was thinking about this today, I'd like to preserve some things I've written so that they can outlive me if I suddenly die.

Given $X, maybe I'd be better off scraping an ephemeral site into archive.org than trying to pre-pay for hosting. Getting into search indexes is the hard part either way, right? At least with IA for perma-hosting there's both economies of scale and a human hand protecting against the failures that take down small sites (TLS certs expiring, accounts deleted, etc.)
