Canonical owns the ubuntu-us.org domain, as with all other country
domains, they pay for the registration. We contact them for DNS
changes.

Several folks have already stepped up for this team. Right now the
plan is simply regaining access for now so team development is an
ongoing process.

There are currently 3 admins with full sudo on the server, I'm the primary one.

There are no hosting fees, this Linode was donated to the project by
the Linode folks themselves.

This is the same issue with any hosting arrangement, but I trust that
they won't randomly pull out support. Bad press aside for such a
withdrawl, they have proven me to be a good, solid company these past
couple years (and I'm personal friends with at least one of the key
employees over there).
