TOT; Address on web site?

[The Medway Handyman]

Do you have to show an address on a business web site? Anyone know?

You might find the answer here:

At least, it is a start but you might have to read quite a bit.

Anyone who wants to find your address already can. IIRC not hiding it on the WHOIS is all you are obliged to do:

address on a business web site? Anyone know?

indeed - still seems apt for that lot ("business link" aka "chamber of horrors") they were absoultely abysmally sh1te when they were pushing their "services" at us a few years ago - laughable except we already paid for the w@nkers thru taxes etc !!!!!

The short answer is yes. In the case of a limited company, that could just be the registered office.

I suspect that this is probably the legal driver:

this is notionally about e-commerce its remit is wider than just that.

Not sure if this is a good summary or not, but it seems reasonable:

expired on 1 jan 2010, I wonder how much its worth if someone registers it. Maybe it will be freed soon?

As an aside, doesanyone know if it's possible to hide/withold your physical address if you own a .com domain name, as a private individual? I believe the rules are different to .co.uk?

That is very recent change, I followed the orginal whois link and that showed 01/01/10 expiry, decided to check via domaintools and that showed /12 back to webwhois and that now shows the /12 date.

To be fair, the details on webwhois.nic.uk should be correct, no matter what your host says. It looks like your host renewed it today (late!) after all

I have no idea what the legal/contractual position is. I do know that I do not do business with any site that doesn't display a postal address and landline telephone number.
