I needed my driver's license to prove that I was who I said I was with my credit card with ionos.

Crazy. I had Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, Rackspace (back in the day when they did that), never had to prove my identity.

Maybe things changed?

Hetzner asked me for my passport. I just signed up yesterday out of curiosity.

I guess so. Jeez. As of a month ago, Vultr and Linode did not.
