He probably just has a WHMap account setup on one of liquidweb.com's dedicated servers. That'll work fine, but hopefully he really is able to move you over to a private server without any snags.

Hello, I am the owner or LaceHost. We host our company website offsite on a vps with Liquidweb. Our shared hosting servers, power distribution units and network switches are completely owned by us and located in our private cabinet at the Uberbandwidth datacenter in NC, USA. We also have 3 support operators and 8 technicians working round the clock. Also, we use WHMCS and not WHMAP :)

Thank you, Ishan

So why don't you use your own server to host your site?

I think he's doing that to mislead websites that track hosts uptime, like that his main site never run down.
