Sure.
Heather Stern is our webmistress (she reads webmaster at svlug.org) and she
should be able to hlpe you.

Actually we have svcs.org and .net.
They are now pointing to the svlug server

The svlug server was rebuilt twice in the last two years.
Right now, http://www.svcs.org/~svcs/ works, but I don't know anything about
custom CGIs.
Maybe Heather does.

If your CGI is gone or doesn't work anymore, you could get an ssh account
to the svlug machine.

webmaster at svlug.org

No :-)

If your site takes less than 100MB, it shouldn't be an issue.

We don't have uploads enabled, web pages  are edited in place with vi/rcs or
uploaded with scp.

Heather may be able to provide more help.
