I open a Baby account a few days ago to try HostGator. Because my office, bank accounts, address, everything is in the USA and I am now in the UK I was asked to either call to veryfy or send and email with a copy of my credit card and ID.

I am deaf so I could not call and sending Credit Card photocopy together with ID in an email? Say what? So finally I had someone call for me and we thus verified the account.

After going about a bit with the Baby account I decided to go for a resellers account which I opened today; however the account is now blocked pending verification, so I got another email asking to verify.

This is just quite annoying.
