  • MaxMind's minFraud. And phone verification. Use both for max. security.

  • It could be that a customer has no phone at home xD ? minFraud is enough ...

    Phone Verification much better, with minFraud you will get detailed IP address information, free/normal email and if user use the proxy or not, a couple time the minFraud is failed as they send email 2 days later stating the IP was incorrectly processed and it's fraud.

  • Phone may be good for larger orders such as Dedicated servers, but customers could get upset if that slowed down VPS provisioning.

    MinFraud should be enough for VPS. Good luck!

  • I personally always have issues with sites that use phone verification (not getting called etc) it makes me think that it's only working for people in the USA.

  • We tried the phone verification and had issues with clients outside USA & Europe receiving the calls.

    Now we use the minfraud and do manual calls if we are concerned about an order.

    I don't have a cell phone. I have a smart phone. :D

  • Alright guys ! Thank You for your opinions ... The result is clear I think ...

  • Well, personally I wouldn't share my phone number with any VPS provider. I already get shitloads of spam, and don't want to increase that amount.
