Yeah I tried to move to Hetzner, but bounced off when they wanted my passport info. I've since moved to OVH, where I get significantly more resources for the same money compared to DO, they're a European company hosting in Europe (getting away from US tech was the primary reason I was looking for DO alternatives), and they never asked for my passport!

There are many good non-Hetzner European hosting companies, luckily.

OVH is also asking for id card photos, and full face photos, and I wish there were good hosting companies around.

I can recommend Netcup in Germany. They didn't ask me for ID at the very least.

They don't offer physical/dedicated servers. That's the key!
