Also keep in mind no established hosting company will ask for this unless some flags come up. Using a proxy to sign up, a free email address, unregistered domain name, there are lots we use for fraud. DWHS.com actually uses a phone call back system for instant activation and run a updating black list of i.p.'s for checking out. This is is good enough 99.9% of the time. Another good one is to ask the user what bank the card is from, you can get this from your merchant account but unless the card was physically stolen they will have a hard time finding this and move on to find a new sucker.
