Roar? Joomla? Euskaltel?

I was recently (actually like two minutes ago) playing around with the host active script at No-IP.com.  I thought that the script didn’t do any actual verification of the host.

I input ‘roar.no-ip.org’.  You know, “I am lion hear me roar” and all that jazz?

Well, it turns out that it resolves to 85.86.207.144.  I check it out and it leads to Joomla via some company called “SkyWeb”.  It also appears to be in Spanish.  I guess primarily because a company in Spain runs it via Euskaltel.es.  Which by the way sucks because of its independence on JavaScript to load.

What confuses me is that the official Joomla website is at Joomla.org and resolves to 72.9.243.251.

What does this tell me?  Primarily that I have too much time on my hands.
