Actually it doesn't seem work even now as ncuc.ning.com
(and strictly speaking ncuc.org does not point to that URL
but to the same IP address, it's an A record).
And I can't find any way to change the visible URL
in the Manage tools there.

That would mean we'll really have to do it at one stroke.
That is, build the new site as, say, new.ncuc.org and as soon
as it's ready, change ncuc.org to point there and killing the
old site for good at the same time.
Oh well, I guess it'd be better to do it that way anyway,
I'd just been happier to have a backup plan.
