For email addresses I believe we would need to configure an email server. I
think that is an option, we can probably offer @lug.ncsu.edu addresses.
Will have to check.
I'm fine allowing club members web hosting (as we presently do,
http://nilbus.com/ is hosted on short).

That's cool. How do we have access to do web hosting? Also, for email
addresses @lug is fine but can we also customize our own? Thanks.
