Hello,

In a further method to prevent fraud on our service we are thinking about implementing phone verification for countries where the most abuse originates from.

It would work like this:
  1. Before creating a web hosting account for the first time, you will be asked to enter in your phone number.
  2. After doing so, you will be displayed a 4 digit PIN number.
  3. An automated computer program will phone your number and ask you to enter in the 4 digit PIN.
  4. After you have successfully entered the PIN you can create as many accounts as you'll like.

It won't cost anything at all.

Would you be put off by our service if we did this?

Just joined to thought I would answer this thread.

Yep - registration by SMS would be okay (Banks like Santander now use SMS extensively in their authorising systems) or 2nd best would be to answer the phone and reply with touch tone keypad.
