When a hosting provider collects your government ID, phone number, and address, they create a centralized database of sensitive personal information linked to your online activities. This database is a target for hackers, a resource for government surveillance, and a liability in litigation. A single data breach at your hosting provider can expose your identity, your domains, and your online activity to the entire world.
KYC also creates barriers for legitimate users who need email hosting but cannot or should not provide identity documents. Journalists protecting sources, activists in authoritarian countries, whistleblowers exposing corruption, and privacy-conscious individuals all have valid reasons to host email without attaching their real name to the server.
AnubizHost operates on a simple principle: we do not need your identity to provide you with email hosting, so we do not ask for it. Our no-KYC policy is not a loophole or a workaround - it is a deliberate architectural and business decision that protects both you and us.
