What HostSailor is
HostSailor sells VPS, dedicated servers, shared hosting, domains and SSL certificates, with VPS plans listed in the Netherlands and the United States. Its terms identify the operator as HOST SAILOR LIMITED, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates. The terms say photographic ID may be required to establish identity when paying by credit card, and that an account may be suspended if a user does not provide accurate contact information or fails to provide identification when requested. Cryptocurrency payments in more than 50 coins are handled by a third-party processor, and the terms say payments made in cryptocurrency are refunded to a verified PayPal account or as account credit rather than back in crypto.
