This is the one slight disadvantages of using a HOSTS file, perhaps I should have mentioned it. To answer you in short, Yes that website is an ad-server website. When usuing a HOSTS file the entire URL is blocked, when using my method of integrating it into IE, only the ads are blocked, see picture refernece below.
However, it can easily be fixed by doing exactly what you did, simply remove the blocked URL from the list and its all good to go.
