Hey Pandabear, where did you get your info about the server being in the U.S.? I did a search for "server" and found alot of responses, most people say it is in the U.K. some other people say it is somewhere else.
According to whois.sc its in Los Angeles, CA.
You can lookup info on any website by going to http://whois.sc/website.com

They are using Domains By Proxy to hide the real owner. So I dunno if in LA or Arizona. But if you do a tracert, you can see it is hosted at WebNx.com. WebNX is in La Puente, Ca. So, yeah, it is actually being hosted in California, but who knows where the owner is sitting?

Heh, it gave me Georgia.
To the OP, if you're looking to hide your IP you can use an anonymous proxy, or TOR.
http://www.torproject.org/
Tor hands off data requests to other computers in the chain to send and receive for you. It has high anonymity but *low* security. Do *not* use it to login to anything you can't afford to have packet sniffed and stolen.
edit: I'm actually surprised the host is located in the US. I figured it would be located offshore in order to avoid release of information. As long as the "patriot" act is in effect they can use it to quickly seize data, as they've previously included pot in with other drugs as "supporting terrorism".

Figured I should chime in w/a few things. I originally said something similar back in my DSS (satellite) hacking days many years ago.
First, all of you know the legal risks in your location, if you don't you should. Ignorance is no excuse, it'll also help you from freaking out if anything happens and at least give you an idea what your up against if you run into any trouble.
Second, a lot of risk can be minimized if you just take some basic (and some advanced) precautions;
Stupid easy stuff -> Don't give out your address, phone number, etc. Don't leave pictures with easily identifible personal information; face, bills, front of your house. Be careful giving away information about local landmarks and such, info about family or your new car you just bought. Only tell people you trust, and even then, people get funny about stuff like this. Best to no one or keep the knowledge about your setup down to a minimum.
Moderate stuff -> Use a browser like firefox and get one of the many proxy addons. This will hide your IP address atleast from the website (there are still (low) chances of law-enforcement getting your ip from the proxy). Clear your cache every once in a while or surf in private mode. Make sure your anti-virus is up to date.
Advanced Stuff -> So, some have super large grows and have more risk of being put away for a very long time, law enforcement also tends to use more resources for bigger catches. Some larger growers or paranoid people should take some advanced steps like paying for anonymous services or remote desktopping to a server that is out of the country and connect through there. Use VPN or SSH to securely pipe all your data through a remote off-shore server. Also use applications like bcwipe to wipe your free space. You can setup a scheduled job to do this every once in a while. Less chances of getting evidence from deleted files.
Optional but recommended -> participate or donate to local and national legalization groups. The sooner weed is legalized the less we have to worry about in the longer run.
Hope some of this information is helpful. Didn't mean to hijack a thread but when I was doing DSS and now growing, I always assume law enforcement is watching the forums. You never know, there maybe snitches/undercover, the trick is to always assume there is and take basic steps to hide yourself. Whether smoking, growing or whatever.
Be safe out there.
