Just put it on your own domain and keep it there while you're alive. Renewing it is not that hard, especially with auto-renew on a credit card.

And make sure the Internet Archive indexes it. When people find old links that don't resolve anymore, IA is where they go.

Don't overthink this. Nothing lasts forever, but right now I'd say IA is the most likely repository to survive over the longest term, certainly in comparison to any for-profit company.

There is really no "for as long as you live persistent hosting"

Self-hosting: ISPs change, people move house, power black-outs take servers offline

Hosted: providers change policies, are bought out, go bust, payment details change

Sure but the amount of maintenance for hosted is pretty small, if you pick the right host.

If you use something like Google Sites with your own domain, which is used by a lot of paying corporations, there's a good chance you'll never need to touch it again until you die, except for using some credit card information maybe.

IA has been under attack and has gone down for weeks recently. At this point it's a bit silly to place much faith in it as a perpetual store.

That being said, it's still more likely to stay accessible over the long-term than anything else.

Seeing as that's its mission and it's got the longest track record of it.

Any even if it fails someday as an organization, its repository is the one most likely to be maintained by a new organization with the same mission.
