doesn't OVH require ID verification after you pay? and then run off with your money if they don't get it

at least, that is my experience

I had to identify by ID iirc because I wanted a .eu domain which is restricted to EU citizens. But I had to give the ID upfront.

I wanted to purchase a VPS and they took my money before asking for ID. I refused to give them an ID that I didn't have (because I don't have one) and they kept my money and refused to provide service.

So at least don't get a VPS unless you're ready to give ID, heh.

I had a dedicated server for.. 4 months? or something before they suddenly required a scan of my ID before they would let me renew. Really weird and annoying. No abuse complaints or anything awry I was doing with it either :/

Sounds like a wonderful reason for a chargeback.

I tried to chargeback but the card company was like "nah chargebacks are inconvenient, just have some credit". Was pleasantly surprised.
