„German Family Business“ is my bet.

They have their own internal security team, that handles activation on a case by case basis. Some users need to verify at the beginning, some after a week and other do not have to verify at all.

As you can imagine, at that price point, people will abuse the sh* out of the platform. From public posts it lookalike the main indicators are: - country you provided - IP based Country - Payment method - Payment method returned country - order size - order pattern (something like spawn a server, abuse stuff, order new OR many servers at the beginning)

Sadly you just need to wait. I wish they would have other solutions. But for now that’s it :-/

Yeah, but from a business perspective, they're definitely losing clients with this approach.

I get that they want to avoid abuse, but this whole random verification thing is frustrating for legit users.

They should really consider a smoother, more consistent system to keep people happy without sacrificing security

I mean… they don’t need to care that much with 200mio€ profit.

But yes a smother signup, potentially coupled with a prepaid credit (via 3-D Secure) and or eID would be the easiest and safest solution for everyone.

Atleast if it’s clearly stated how and why that is required.
