Websites may be leased space, but content is sticky.
Blog comments, social media accounts, Usenet posts, etc. will outlast you.

Remember your online life in your will
• State in your will or in a codicil:– Where your sites and accounts are– Whether to keep them running or delete them

Remember your online life in your will
• If you want to keep sites running, set money aside for that in your will
