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

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.

Hetzner requires ID these days, not sure if it's for all new accounts or based on some sketchy algorithm but it's happened to more than one person I know.
