Its fake. (also a wordpress site).
https://www.bitmain.com (https://www.bitmain.com) is what you are looking for.
Never trust a vendor looking to blatantly deceive its client base by pretending to be someone else.

The site is fraudulent. Avoid it. It even appears in their blog's list of fraudulent sites impersonating Bitmain.com
Check it out - Statement Regarding Fraudulent Websites  (https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/10222932129561-Statement-Regarding-Fraudulent-Websites)

The only official shop link is shop.bitmain.com

Please remember:

1.   We do not have any official distributor or reseller anywhere

We receive various queries about whether X or Y is an “official distributor” or “official partner” of Bitmain’s products simply because X or Y claims to be an “official distributor” or “official partner” of Bitmain. We have no official representatives or distributors in any country. This brings us to the following point.

2.   We only sell on bitmain.com

Even if a Bitmain executive wanted to order an Antminer, he or she has to place the order on shop.bitmain.com. There is no other way of ordering hardware from Bitmain. We will never send you an invoice on Skype or using a Gmail email address, both of which have been used by impostors to scam Antminer buyers before.

We have previously sold certain hardware models on www.newegg.com and, if we do so again, we will announce it on our official Twitter and Facebook account.
