This is not the norm yet for hosting providers, and you don't have to pay with Monero to avoid having to send a photo of the credit card you used to pay for a service. Just pick almost any other hosting provider and they'll happily accept your credit card via an online checkout flow and be done with it until they get an abuse report.
- fragmede 3y agoit's not bizarre and totally makes sense from the perspective of the hosting company being used for nefarious purposes and not wanting to get shut down. tragedy of the commons and all.
- lbotos 3y agoA decade ago at the provider I worked at we’d routinely ask for id verification like this for accounts that tripped our fraud signal system.
