When someone hosts a website and it shows that the last update was several years ago, does that mean they're still paying to host a forgotten site?

Hosting a site is several cents a year.

It means they use a free hoster that hasn't gone belly-up from being an unserious fraud/scam operation which experiences frequent "outages" which redirect all sites to illegal facebook phishing clones.

Need a little more information. If its a sub free board as with Myspace then it can go on until bankruptcy of Myspace.
If on the other hand as with say TC were there are two separate fees to consider. One the registration of TC which is inexpensive but more then just several cents a year.
And of course the Server space which can be inexpensive iPage at $2.00 month and could include registration or say GoDaddy and many gripe about how slow and how bad customer service is
So yes a site can remain unused at no cost or for a real web site its going to cost more then mere pennies.
Now this comment is for a few from the long deep dark past. They will see for instance Bianca.com just sitting there unused for about a decade now. What they do not see but could with a little effort is that its actually alive and working and running by the founders very nicely
So wot you see on a web page
My not be all that is actually there Think behind closed doors.
