[H-GEN] Suggestions for a new host for www.humbug.org.au

[David Harrison]

I've just asked the guys at Binary Lane (https://www.binarylane.com.au/) to
see if they can swing a discount for HUMBUG (disclaimer: I'm one of the
founders but am not working there at the moment).

1TB bandwidth won't be doable (being Australian-based it's just too
expensive) but might be able to come closer after a discount.
