RE: FN-FORUM: new UK website regulations

I think people are a little confused.

When he said service provider I think he meant if you are in business with a
trading name (you're the service provider) but your business is registered
in another name (a registered business) you have to make it clear and show
the association. He's not talking about your Web Hosting or ISP service
provider details...
