Major cloud providers require extensive identity verification before you can deploy a single server. AWS demands a credit card and phone number. Google Cloud requires a verified Google account tied to your real identity. Azure needs a Microsoft account with payment verification. These requirements exist not because they improve service quality, but because they enable surveillance and legal compliance with regulations designed to monitor digital activity.
KYC creates a permanent record linking your identity to your infrastructure. If your hosting provider is subpoenaed, hacked, or simply decides to cooperate with a government request, your identity and hosting activity are immediately connected. This affects journalists, activists, researchers, businesses with confidential operations, and anyone who simply values their right to privacy.
The premise that you must prove your identity to rent server resources is neither necessary nor inevitable. It is a policy choice, and AnubizHost has chosen differently. We prove every day that you can run a professional, reliable cloud hosting service without collecting a single piece of customer identity information.
