Thought experiment: imagine it is 1985 and you asked the equivalent question. Something along the lines of: how would I preserve an electronic game/message/piece of media for posterity?
What would the answer be?
Make sure you copy your floppy on to a tape on the commodore 64?
Make sure that you post the message to at least 4 different bulletin boards?
The tech is evolving so fast that a website, or today's hardware, or forms of media will be unrecognizable 50 years from now.
Perhaps the first question is, what will be the equivalent of a website in 500 years?
Funny you should ask that. Because in 1986, the hilarious answer the BBC came up with was 2 Videodiscs, which were obsolete almost as soon as they were introduced:
The latest way to preserve the content from those disks, since nobody can read them any more, is on the internet, so perhaps the OP is on to something - perhaps the internet will survive 500 years in some form, given its obvious utility.
