The same thing happened to me with OVH. They asked for a photo of myself holding government issued ID for verification. I simply sent a short email reply saying that seemed excessive for just renting a VPS and their support allowed me to continue. Since then, I've switched to Contabo hosting which seems to offer cheaper pricing. Would recommend to a friend .
