Not sure I meet most of your description :-)

It looks like it was a proper page when the Wayback Machine crawled it on 23
August 2015, but on 22 September 2015 it showed as a Names.co.uk holding page.

Hope that helps!

- some, certainly; i'm pretty sure i'll not've been able to access
it from a little before or after easter 2005 - ''but i could be wrong'';
the software i was using was the last dispc-users' updates of pc
oak, snews(john washington) - and occasionally arachne - which
may place the end of - would it've been thus plc - actually giving
me access to my homepages - and possibly any dial-up access
at all...

- thanks for the estimates, alan & people; this isn't of  _purely_
academic interest...

- love, ppint.

I can take a guess that it disappeared for the first time on 28/07/2020 
and then rose from the dead (or not) as a zombie on 03/08/2020 if my 
site was anything to go by. Some did vanish in a puff of black smoke but 
others were spontaneously resurrected and lingered on for a while. Like 
Schrodinger's cat many were in a superposition of half alive half dead 
states until they were finally put out of their misery in mid-October.

This is a contemporaneous post:

21/10/2020 appears to be the final drop dead date of the last zombies:

That gives you a couple of bounding dates to probe.

That's when my zombie site, which had been squatting un-maintainably on 
the not-demon-any-more servers since some time in early 2015, finally 
vanished.
