You're correct.

The A record for the domain name maga.place resolves to 216.144.226.200, which is under the 216.144.226.0/24 prefix of AS36352 (HostPapa). The prefix being used is registered to madgenius.com, which is a hosting provider registered in the United States. Curiously, that provider even has their own ASN (AS55154) that's not being used here.

It's also a shared IP address. The address itself resolves to suportefiscal.aptosclinica.com.br. when you perform a reverse lookup.

As for the domain name itself, a quick whois lookup points to Namecheap. The MX records corroborate this, pointing to registrar-servers.com.

In any case, the server itself is hosted in Virginia. The hosting provider used is an American company either owned by or reselling services from a Canadian company.
