The Challenge of Web Hosting Once You're Dead

reifman writes: Hosting a website (even WordPress) after your death has a variety of unexpected complexities, from renewing your domain name, to hosting, security, monitoring, troubleshooting and more. It's a gaping hole that we as technologists should start thinking more about — especially because all of us are going to die, some of us unexpectedly sooner than we'd like or planned for. The only real solution I found was to share credentials and designate funds to descendants — you've done this, right?

    To proclaim to know what God thinks, wants or feels - to know His mind - is blasphemy because it puts you, His humble servant on His level.

    To study the bible is to learn of 'God's' will, and 'God's' mind, so what does that make you? Blasphemous is the book studying humble servant. Wouldn't the bible also qualify as the tree of knowledge of 'good and bad'? Hmmm, racking up them points aren't we? Religion is first world government beyond a forgiveness thrift mart for the mob(s) and a lot of mind control, take a look at it in action over in the holy war torn middle east and Africa, or the Christian US that quasi acknowledges involvement of a holy war. Mkay now, the earth isn't flat, it is 2015 and we all might want to realize these things before we plunge into a third world depression over the intentions of world domination resulting in stronger mob factions.
