What does 'host' mean in this context?

If reported today, reports would be sent to:
Re: http://pharmacy.hgarcaj.ws/?2q4w4a3rg7feomyhdfjkgh (Administrator of
network hosting website referenced in spam)
postmaster at tautel.ru
abuse at tautel.ru
Re: http://pharmacy.hgarcaj.ws/fjkghfdjk?yk.ku4tla1... (Administrator of
network hosting website referenced in spam)
postmaster at tautel.ru
abuse at tautel.ru

Those addresses are derived from DNS pharmacy.hgarcaj.ws
Resolves to 82.114.48.64
whois -h whois.ripe.net 82.114.48.64 ...
inetnum:      82.114.48.0 - 82.114.48.255
descr:        Taurus Telecom interconnect block #48
SPAM issues: abuse at tautel.ru

whois -h whois.abuse.net tautel.ru ...
abuse at tautel.ru  postmaster at tautel.ru  (for tautel.ru)

If the nameservice is pokey, then SC can't do the DNS and so it can't go
to ripe, so you might've seen something different.

Unless you are talking about something else, like looking up the domain
registration of hgarcaj.ws
Domainname registration contact is not SC's 'bag'.  SC notifies the RIR
netblock contact.
