Can you elaborate? I have a VPS and a storage box on Hetzner and I'm so far satisfied with it, minus the sometimes confusing interface between their different products.


Because they are so cheap, they are often used by spammers or other shady entities. So occasionally they may ask for ID. For example, if you connect from one country, use an address from another country and use prepaid card from yet another country.


used by spammers

Then why don't they just ask for ID if you want port 25 unblocked?

Doesn't add up.


The ports are blocked by default for new customers. After a few billing cycles, a request can be made to have it lifted.

This is what happened to me basically, I was so happy I found a cheap provider, I got locked out I didn't even know what to do to unban my account. I will keep using my old provider ...


I'm impressed other people are actually given options.


Where exactly can someone else buy a car with a copy of your ID?


A car dealership?

My credit is great (and currently locked), and is probably enough to get a car with a "$0 down" offer, although those often do require some payments at time of purchase. If you can answer the credit application questions and present ID with my name that looks good, you've created a big mess for me.
