Depends on if you want it to survive without you maintaining it. If so, something like a bog-standard Wordpress blog hosted by them might work until they decide they don't want to bother anymore.

Otherwise, some setup using S3-as-a-website or GitHub pages may work, but those also depend on the company maintaining that service.

If your entire website can be dropped into a ZIP file and served anywhere, you have a greater chance in it surviving, especially if the internet archive got a copy at some point.

But if you die and nobody cares about the content, eventually it will disappear.
