KYC - Know Your Customer - is a compliance process where providers demand government-issued ID, proof of address, and sometimes biometric data before activating your service. Most large hosting companies now enforce KYC, especially for VPS products, citing fraud prevention.
At AnubizHost, we take a different approach. We prevent fraud through technical means - cryptocurrency payments eliminate chargebacks, and our anti-abuse systems detect malicious usage patterns without requiring your personal documents. The result is a signup process that takes under two minutes and asks for nothing more than an email address.
No KYC does not mean no rules. We prohibit specific activities outlined in our Acceptable Use Policy - child exploitation, direct attacks on critical infrastructure, and spam. But we will never ask you to prove your identity just to rent a virtual server.
