https://news.ycombinator.com is run by M5 Hosting out of San Diego.

M5 Hosting is also known as M5 Computer Security out of San Diego.

These firms are a strange choice for a place like YCombinator to host I think.

That insinuation is so obscure that I can't even guess what you're insinuating.

It's a small hosting company with good support. It's a nice fit with the spirit of this community. I have no idea what alternate names they have.

      Founder/CEO of M5 Hosting here. M5 Computer Security pivoted to M5 Hosting in the early 2000s. We do host the servers that this site is on. I have been through YC Startup School recently. We host a few Fortune 500s and many startups.

      Can I answer any questions you have about us?

Hey man, I really like the research you're doing on HN. Thought about starting a blog?

Why are they a strange choice?
