Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Running a Web Hosting Business : Personal Address or Address Forwarding.

[trickyy]

Hello,

I'm not really sure about the terms used, however i'm running a home-based web hosting services starting from VPS and Shared hosting, and i don't have a permanent address yet. is it actually recommended to use our person home address or to get a third party or so-called fake address?

Home address doesn't look professional (and is also not that good for privacy, email spam and identity theft for example)
So i would say go with what is definded private registration.

[trickyy]

Rather than that, what i mean is i'm going to show everyone such as in my newsletter etc, the real origin of my home address, or is there a way i could register a second address which actually forwards to my home address, but people will only know about my second address, and not my main home address.

Depending where you live, get a po box somewhere and use that for an address to show.

You can either get a PO box for yourself or you can use one of the shops of any friend or relative of yours who is running a business for the letters.

If your business is running well enough, think about opening a dedicated office.
