Perhaps we're answering different questions. I thought it was e.g.
"Is there a web server at 195.26.90.35, the DNS-reported IP for
that system?"

Yes there is -- and it's returning a 301 redirect, which is an *HTTP*
response that has *nothing* to do with DNS. And which, if you logged
into that system, you could figure out by looking at the server config.

So does "195.26.90.35" have "web hosting"? Yes, it does.
