I'm wondering whether your whois client is set up correctly - here's the 
information I get:

$ whois 85.8.130.192
% This is the RIPE Whois query server #1.
% The objects are in RPSL format.

% Note: the default output of the RIPE Whois server
% is changed. Your tools may need to be adjusted. See

It quite clearly shows who's hosting your site, and gives an email

Cheers,
