Could be, I have never heard of them before, strange pricing, lots of question marks!!!!!! Probably got to add VAT, but even then some of their prices are keen. Try the phone number

But when you then look up the IP address, another story turns up:

Conclusion: Don't just use whois to check the domain name. Use the IP address to be sure, where the server is located. :-)
