this thought has been nagging me for over a month:
when I die, how long before my host drops me, my domain gets snatched, and how can I update it to let people know that I’m not making any updates because I’m dead?

You can always set up a messaeg that pops in the future if you do not stop it, saying “if you are seeing this, i am no more” or whatever you like.
Then you could ask for donations to keep the domain live; who knows, you could probably start a cult. Postmortem, that is.
