I'm the only one here, and it's a simple content website.

The domain has just been renewed for 5 years. The VPS is paid by credit card, and is set to auto-renew. This should last until the card expires in early 2027. There's money in that bank account so it should be fine.

Then Cloudflare will serve the website for a bit longer, probably a month or two.

After that, only archive.org copies of the website will remain, but at least the pages are self-contained (by design) and will run just fine when served from an archive.

So until about 2027.

There would be issues though. Information would grow outdated, links would break, mailboxes would get filled, etc.

The tax office would probably cause problems if I stop doing bookkeeping though. My tax advisor could delay their wrath, but eventually they'd freeze my account and payments to the web host would stop. I give it a few months, tops.
