Am in EU, had the same happen to me.
Tried creating an account when I was in university, they just suspended it for no reason, even before the process was fully completed. I even sent them copies of my documents to verify my identity, yet they chose not to do any business with me.
A few years later creating an account succeeded and I've been a customer of theirs since - no idea what changed, but I'm not going to move over all of my stuff to them after that experience, or at least keep all of my backups (that I need to restore my sites on any hosting provider) local to my homelab with rsync or something like that.
Then again, maybe being stringent like that works well for them, for whatever reason. That said, their prices are better than pretty much every other platform out there, at least for basic VPSes. Maybe Contabo can compete with them directly, though.
