I’d be careful with Hetzner. I was doing nothing malicious and signed up. I had to submit a passport which was valid US. It got my account cancelled. I asked why and they said they couldn’t say for security reasons. They seem like an awesome service, I don’t want knock them I just simply asked if I could resubmit or something the mediate and they said no. I don’t blame them just be careful. I’m guessing my passport and face might have trigged some validation issues? I dunno.

You have to give a hosting company a copy of your passport?!? (And hope they delete it… eventually?)

Only if you triggered some risk checking systems. I didn't need to provide anything when I signed up this year.

[ametrau]

Ah, so after you’ve been with them a while and it’s a pain to go elsewhere.

[albert180]

Nope, I guess they use some algorithms during sign up to decide if they would like to have additional data or not

Thanks for the heads up. I had to provide a passport as well.
