I am working from home and want to find a virtual office space so that I can use the address. I don't want my home address on everything. Any recommendations? (I suppose I could also sign up with UPS for a mailbox... but I am not too sure.)
Thanks!

If the only reason is to avoid having your home address on everything, then the PO Box will be much cheaper than a virtual space. It's under $200/yr for a medium-sized box. If you need a "real" office address, access to a conference room, and perhaps a receptionist, then consider the virtual route.

a po box is nice, but the post office will not accept deliveries from UPS or FED EX, or other delivery services (except for the USPS). Thats why I preferred a private mail box (such as one you can get from the UPS store). And, a private email box can look like a regular address: 100 Main Street, Suite 10, Anytown, FL. And the price is also under 200 /yr, at least when I had one, back from 2004-2006.

Good luck.

Good luck.

When you canceled your UPS box, were they able to forward your mail? I read they won't do it, which worries me a bit.

The post office won't forward your mail from a private mailbox, that does ring a bell. however, the UPS store would forward my mail, i think they kept a Credit Card on file, and charged me for the postage and probably a small handling fee to forward it, I think they sent me my mail once a week in a big envelope, until the volume slowed down after everyone who was mailing me stuff had updated to my new address. Check with your local private mailbox company, they should be able to tell exactly what they will do in this situation.
