What ID are you providing for web hosting? Literally never done this, just payables info.

I can't remember the hosts name, but I did get asked to send my DL to a hosting service. I did a free trial and tried to sign up, at the end I was asked to send a picture of my DL. I told them I would find a host that knew what they were doing, and deleted my account. This was probably five or six years ago, too. I do agree though, no other host has tried to pull this on me.

I needed my driver's license to prove that I was who I said I was with my credit card with ionos.

Crazy. I had Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, Rackspace (back in the day when they did that), never had to prove my identity.

Maybe things changed?

Hetzner asked me for my passport. I just signed up yesterday out of curiosity.

I guess so. Jeez. As of a month ago, Vultr and Linode did not.
