Assuming there is no proxy being used, that should be fairly accurate for the server.

Considering the recent attack, was publishing this a good idea?

Public knowledge from whois.

I assume you realize the web address simply points to the IP (easily traced as per above)? So it isn't some mystical trace I do.

If it is considered a bad idea, I have no probpem with removing it - but given it's easily found I don't see how it reduces risk of attack.

It's open information, whether its published here or not it's easy to find.

The time limit is up for removing the data myself, if it's decided removal is required I request a mentor do so.
