What KYC rules cover
Know-your-customer rules mainly apply to regulated financial services, such as banks and crypto exchanges. A hosting company is not usually in that category, so verifying identity is a business choice, not a legal requirement, in many countries.
Where it can still matter
- Some jurisdictions impose duties on online intermediaries that go beyond finance. Check the rules where the company operates.
- Sanctions law can restrict who a company may serve, whatever its ID policy.
- Your own country may restrict what you can do online, wherever the server is.
What does not change
- The server's contents must be lawful. See the acceptable use policy.
- Valid legal requests are still handled. See law enforcement.
- The company can end service for abuse with or without a name on file.
Practical advice
- Use a server for lawful purposes and keep records of what you run.
- Read the terms of the host you choose.
- If your use case is sensitive, take advice from a lawyer in your own country.
General information, not legal advice.
In short
In most places there is no law against renting a server without an identity check. Rules mainly cover financial institutions and certain services. What you run on a server remains subject to local law.
