According to my referrals in SBI, this site is in 6th place in number of referrals. Is anyone familiar with this hosting company and how are these referrals to our site, coming from their site?

I don't know anything about this particular company, but one thing to keep in mind when viewing referral logs is that software exists which generates fake visitors to web sites.

Companies can make it look as though they are sending dozens or hundreds of visitors to your site. It's the Wild Wild West out there!

Maybe it came from ilegal robot that find e-mail address on your site using fake refferal.

It can also from person who crawl your site with fake refferal.
