KYC, or Know Your Customer, refers to identity verification processes that require you to submit personal identification documents such as a passport, driver's license, or utility bill before you can use a service. Many traditional hosting providers enforce KYC requirements, which means your real name, address, and identity are permanently linked to your hosting account and stored in their databases.
AnubizHost operates a strict no-KYC policy across all hosting plans. We never ask for identification documents, we never require phone number verification, and we never conduct identity checks of any kind. The only piece of information needed to create an account is an email address, which can be a disposable or anonymous email if you prefer. This approach ensures that your real identity is never connected to your hosting services.
Our no-KYC policy is not just a marketing feature - it is a core architectural decision that protects both our clients and our business. By not collecting identity information, we have nothing to hand over in response to legal requests, subpoenas, or data breaches. Information that does not exist cannot be compromised, leaked, or used against you. This makes AnubizHost fundamentally more private than providers who collect identity data and promise to keep it safe.
