I'm quite happy to host the website, either temporarily or permanently.

But ;-), I have a slow Telstra cable connection to the internet, with a 
single IP address.

I already have a website (or two) (apache), ftp site and mailing list 
(wlug_trade) etc running here on my Debian based server 24/7, been online 
since Oct 2003.  The telstra cable connection has outages at the normal 
telstra rate!

My server is running non-critical stuff so could host website directly on 
there (rather than a separate machine), not the end of the world if it gets 
broken into.  Or perhaps on a separate machine on it's own DMZ, but I''m 
not sure how to route wellylug traffic to a different machine.
