No lawyer would ever advise anyone to just “casually talk to FBI agents that show up at your door”.

  Talking =/= answering questions. The advice of "not answering questions" applies mostly for situations where cops are looking for the guilty party, and you don't want to accidentally self incriminate (or if you are guilty, you have a higher chance of getting off) FBI having records of you specifically in relation to a shady website is already past the point of looking for a guilty party - the people they send are specialized in cyber crime, are there to investigate the entirety of the situation with enough information about you already collected from all the sources like ISP logs, background check, and so on, all indicating that you are probably not guilty, as people who actually run sites like that statistically lead very different lives You can refuse to answer questions and let them in, however that has a higher rate of a search warrant, seizure and possibly arrest. Or you could just show them your domain registrars, tell them that you have no idea where it came from, and then look up history that shows the transfer, and that could be the end of your trouble, without any self incriminating statements.
