Find my Past are the only website with a 1901 address search facility.  Both FindMyPast and Ancestry have 1911 address search.

FindMyPast Terms  & Conditions prohibit publication from their website and RC do not allow 1911 info to be posted due to copyright issues

As stated above... There are copyright issues with the 1911 census that do not affect earlier censuses.

You can buy credits for FindMyPast which will enable you to look for the address in 1911

Unlike other census years 1911 is only available online therefore it is obvious that anyone doing a look up is breaking the terms and conditions they signed up to with the providers which state clearly that it can only be used for personal use.   Rootschat cannot be seen to condone such flouting of the rules.
There is a thread which gives a lot of helpful suggestions about getting the best from the free index:
