OK,
According to
robtex BTexchanges.com is not hosted inside BT. Its on a 'Rackspace.com' server 92.52.64.192. However DNS for the btexchanges.com domain is provided by BT. Its Microsoft-IIS/6.0 on Windows Server 2003.
Domain Registrant:
BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLC
PP. G555
81 Newgate Street
London, London ec1a 7aj
UK
Netcraft reports the
IP range is owned by Mural Ventures ltd.
The survey data was gathered by
confirmit.com (survey.euro.confirmit.com/212.100.250.8). According to robtex its again outside BT, in an ip range owned by
Future Information Research Management.
Netcraft reports the server is based in the UK (though note the organisation details for Confirmit ASA, Hoffsveien 48, Oslo, Oslo, 0377,
Norway).
BT seem to be incapable of hosting anything on their internal systems, particularly systems that gather marketing and personal information from their customers.
