I was asked for scanning of similar data from Limestone Networks, but I've known them to never cheat anyone, so I didn't mind. But why for someone like HostGator to ask for so much identification? Their services aren't like LSN (Limestone) where it costs a lot of money, and you have to verify someone's not duping you with information they found online. Never hosted off HostGator, just not my cup of tea. Now I just use DigitalOcean, great service, for what I need it for, and affordable.

Cheap services make scammers and spammers more likely to show up, not less.
