Depends on your ressources. Personally I would slap in a new, bigger disk, copy the data over and mount it as /www. General advice there - install the OS on one disk, and keep all your data on another, then you can just upgrade whenever you need to. Alternatively there are tools to change partition sizes on the fly. Has been a while since I used any, but a quick search on freshmeat for "partition" turned up quite a few: GNU PartEd: http://freshmeat.net/redir/gnuparted/30277/url_homepage/parted QTParted: http://freshmeat.net/redir/qtparted/36614/url_homepage/qtparted.sourceforge.net plus a whole bunch of others, apparently.
