Does anybody knows of a site providing access to contents that are no longer online? Say, like a page that went offline 10 years ago.

You can try archive.org

Yeah, use archive's wayback machine -- it doesn't have everything, but it has a surprising amount.

It doesn't work for that sort of time frame, but the google cache is remarkably long-lasting.

Sure it does. They have stuff going back to 1996.

A quick test was unable to find any of my deleted pages from before about 2002, but it is entirely possible that the cache doesn't age uniformly.

I couldn't find was I was looking for neither. Maybe it only caches websites with a certain amount of visits.

I don't think so, since my website is on there (that is, on archive.org) and it gets hardly any vists at all :-)

You need to know the exact URL, however, for the wayback machine to work (though if you know how to get to the page you're after from the top-level page, for example, all links in archived pages also go to the archive).
