They also banned me because I forgot to pay one month ( and my contact email was one that I didn’t use anymore ). After a year I tried to resubscribe and they denied me, ( I offered to pay any debt , but they refuse )
Hetzner never banned me but they demanded a lot of info at sign-up like a photo of my ID which contains sensitive info like my social security number. Can be used for identity theft.
I blanked that out and they didn't accept it until I showed them the national police website where they showed how to do this and recommended to always do that.
I only used them for a while, eventually I mixed to scaleway which was cheaper and doesn't need any invasive info. I've been a happy customer there for years. I even run an IRC bouncer there without any issues, which many such providers specifically forbid (eg OVH)
