Many of my clients use email and have registered their own domain name for that purpose but have no desire/need for a web site. Having said that, it is irrelevant in this case. I would be very surprised if mx5.1premio.com points to a web site. The "mx5" prefix tells me it is the name of one of a number of mail servers used the organisation (see RFC1035). It is very unlikely that it will also host a web server. A whois on 1premio.com says that this domain is registerd to FreeYankee Inc of Cedar Hills, UT http:// www.1premio.com resolves to 166.70.149.2 -- Lexacorp Ltd http://www.lexacorp.com.pg Information Technology Consultancy, Software Development,System Support.
