There is something suspicious going on there.
My guess is that the site has been hacked.

Try opening a connection with it using a telnet client.

telnet -f telnet.txt www.mhs1955.com 80

When the screen clears type: GET /
(That's GET <space><slash><Enter>)

I got a message from there with:
<example>
Hacked by Q8crackers . man i rooted your box 9978749068 times give it up! befcake.org
</example>

Equally suspicious is the the list of connections which appears
if you try to use that site with IE. E.g. monitor the connections with:

netstat -asop tcp 9

(Establishes a 9 second loop. Press Ctrl-c to end the loop.)
FWIW I see more than some standard port 80 HTTP connections then. ;o

What kind of server is/was it?

Good luck
