Unfortunately yes: a basic whois investigation will show you this is a web server hosted by Ubiquity Hosting Phoenix, AZ, USA.

| Jul 22, 2014 at 20:18 | comment | added | Tim S. | If you don't trust your ISP, use HTTPS. If they're trying to be a man-in-the-middle, this will prevent it or allow easy detection (because your browser will complain that the certificate's not valid because it's issued to another address or not signed by a trusted CA). FWIW, the fact that your packets are going through your ISP is completely expected (they route the connection through their servers), and the end IPs not being where/who you might expect them to be is normal (e.g. Akamai). | |

It's totally normal to have your ISP as the second or third hop in a trace route. | |
