I own my "legit" consulting business and work with not only with large corporations but state agencies doing consulting and use a "hotmail.com" account for all my work business. None of my clients or their clients I work with have ever questioned my using a hotmail account. I am another stay at home mom and do all my consulting from my home based-business. The use of hotmail, gmail, yahoo or another account address or a different what you term "real address" doesn't make them legit or not. Why would someone post a photo of themselves and their names on their website if they weren't for real. Why be so critical on someone starting a business? GEEZ!!!
