So, created an account on Hetzner trying to give their VPS a go. Their specifications are sweet, and the pricing is more than right. It didn't like a MasterCard, but took the AMEX fine. After the account was created they required verification. Allegedly my account was flagged as high risk, and they needed to verify me. One of the choices was my driver's licence.
Whilst trying to add my drivers licence, the first time failed. The photo on the licence picture didn't match the current photo I had to take. Duh! When trying to redo, got a 403 error. No matter what I tried, nada. Tried another verification, using Paypal this time. Same error. Logged out, logged back in, tried again, same errors. Bye bye Hetzner! :-(
@fastidious Why do companies even do this in the first place? Like seriously, I get the whole point of taking some basic details and accepting payment. But can't we just all live in a world where we first assume trust, then if you violate the terms of service and therefore the "trust", that's it you're out. I mean why do we have to make things so hard. I'm sorry to hear of your experience 😢 -- I truly loved Hetzner back in the day when I used ot have a few dedicated servers with them, but I have no recent experiences.

Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question 😂
