I don't think the current traffic to all the LUG websites in Canada would tax a 56k modem connection at the moment. If CLUE offered FTP space, that could potentially chew up bandwidth in a hurry, but simple websites and small mailing lists should be easy to support. What is important is to provide a means for LUGs to quickly and easily update their websites. I think the important part is that CLUE should have complete control over the physical server (co-location) that is hosting its website and any others.
