A big issue with working from home is putting your address on a website. There is this idea that everyone will know where you live and you will be vulnerable to burglars etc.

Its very likely that the only people likely to access your website are the ones trying to get hold of your business for business reasons rather than to check your property out for robbing.

With the billions of websites out there who has got the time to randomly to through them and to check who is working at home? How are people going to know that is your home address?

Hopefully you put your address on a business card, which you then hand it out to anyone slightly interested. Can’t these people also stalk and rob you?

So if a sole trader is working from home, then by law they have to put their home address on their website and cannot use an alternative contact address because the served documents would otherwise not be effective?

Now that’s just stupid, ridiculous and puts people at risk. Can I then go on to sue the government for making me have to deal with stalkers, burglars, etc?? I doubt it!

This site has been helpful…I am the volunteer secretary of a writers group and we have a web site. We are looking into publishing work on the web - not for sale - .

I am not clear when you refer to the “service provider” whether that means the ISP or the writers group.
