A real-world production migration from DigitalOcean to Hetzner dedicated, handling 248 GB of MySQL data across 30 databases, 34 Nginx sites, GitLab EE, Neo4j, and live mobile app traffic — with zero downtime.
Netcup was the one I had most problems years ago about uploading identify check. Last year when I signed again they actually put a system in place that it’s simpler, you just show your face for some photos and show your identity card and it checks if it matches. So an external identity provider. Simpler than having to see how to upload copies by email with pgp (which they support and have documentation about).
I’m in europe. If you put a name that may seem a bit non standard they will fire that verification immediately. I think i tried hetzner before and same thing. On ovh was no problem for the little time I tried. Anyway they all always want full physical address and name and a bunch of personal details.

You mean you also tried with a standard name? What exactly is “non standard”? How exactly is it “fired”?
My name isn’t standard either.
Is there anything else out of the ordinary in your application? Like, payment method, no/invalid smartphone, no/invalid email, no/invalid mailing address, etc.?
I repeat, I had to do no identity check whatsoever. Neither with one other European provider I used.

It’s so weird. Where from? I never had any such requirements with any provider, even when I, from Europe, bought something from abroad.

Europe or EU?

EU, normal name.
