Account verification helps businesses verify validity and ownership.
Account verification helps businesses verify validity and ownership. This can be done due to regulatory requirements, or
to help avoid errors – or fraud.
Account verification is a fraud prevention procedure we utilize for all of our customers when a hosting account is first
purchased. This process is fully automated but in rare cases, may require human action. If there is evidence that an
account may have been created using stolen information, we reach out to the customer to ask a few security questions
using the contact information provided at signup. Once we confirm the account as legitimate we unlock the new hosting
account to give full access to additional features, domains, and upgrades. If we discover a purchase was not authorized
we can then more easily reverse any illegitimate charges. This also empowers individuals to proactively address the
possibility that their information is compromised. They can contact financial institutions to prevent further abuse and
avoid potential fees and headaches.
