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.
