I had to check. And relieved to learn mma.gov is only the Marine Minerals Administration (dept of interior) which you may not like much but at least it's not that other thing.

Small US-based dedicated server provider Reprise #Hosting (#AS62838):

"[...] we were informed by our datacenter that our rates will be increasing by nearly 8 percent. This massive, unexpected price hike comes directly on the heels of another major increase we weathered just one year ago. Because of this, it is simply no longer possible for us to profitably host the majority of the customers we serve today."

Pro hacker tip, if you really don't want bash to record your shell history, do a kill -9 $$ not this:

# tail .bash_history
echo "" > term.log
cd ..
ls
cd ~
echo "" > .bash_history
ls -flah
clear
ls -flah
echo "" > .bash_history
shutdown -h now
