Does anybody know why CBOT is hosting this site? Not that it's a bad thing, I mean, it's just that it doesn't seem like the type of thing that a financial exchange would do.

It's where the physical server we lease is located at.

CBOT is the name of the building, just like when you drive through the city and see the IBM or Microsoft buildings. The Chicago Board of Trade only occupies x floors, the rest are leased out to other businesses, our datacentre occupies a couple of those floors.
