Hello,
I just went to purchase a new VPS and I was told by my host that they require a scan of my Driver's License or Passport to verify my identity before they will create the account.
I am wondering, is this a standard practice for getting a new VPS? How many hosts do this? With identity theft on the rise is this safe to do?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
