Zeldman on posthumous webhosting

Zeldman frets about the preservation of personal web material, which usually disappears once the hosting bill goes unpaid. He has an idea:

A suggestion for a business. Sooner or later, some hosting company is going to figure out that it can provide a service and make a killing (as it were) by offering ten-, twenty-, and hundred-year packets of posthumous hosting.

A hundred years is not eternity, but you are not Shakespeare, and it’s a start.
