Joking aside, paper is resilient. Share your digital writings everywhere, then make paper copies that you can donate to libraries. If this fails, that's fine. You won't be around to see it.
20 years - google doc with backups in your email and wherever your taxes and medical stuff is, and printed copy with your home records 40 years - print and bind the google doc in 20 years, store it with their stuff when they leave the house. 60 years - publish the book buy a bunch of copies and distribute 100 years - it needs to be a very good book
Worst case, engrave it on a clay tablet and bury it in a bog.

Individual books can last much longer than a hundred years. Worst case, engrave it on a clay tablet and bury it in a bog.
Brass or bronze would also be a decent option, but you'd have to make the text larger for it to be readable with corrosion. Perhaps braille would be an interesting choice there.
And ceramics are a great choice - clay tablets, when fired, can last millenia.
I think between the three of a metal sheet, clay tablet, and paper book, one of the three is almost certain to survive a century.

RE How to make my website exist for 100 years? Get it archived in Wayback machine and other web archive sites ....
I suggest you start converting your writing into short digestible Tiktok dance moves... Joking aside, paper is resilient. Share your digital writings everywhere, then make paper copies that you can donate to libraries. If this fails, that's fine. You won't be around to see it.

honestly though, no one know how to make your "website" exist for 100years. Websites have only existed for ~35 years.
