That wasn't my experience. They banned me while I was trying things out, for some baseless suspicion of an infraction. Just rented some cheap server from Hetzner, did the job well.

Hetzner banned my account on day 2, lol. At least they didn't charge me for my server (that billing would have happened at the end of the month).
A friend of mine had the same experience with them.
They are really sensitive to two things: address confirmation, in case you want to avoid 19% VAT, and mining for SIA)
They weren't even happy with my verification using a live selfie with my passport (i.e. by live video camera stream). I think they didn't like that I ran my dedicated server for about 6 hours and then shut it down.
I was testing software for the upcoming macOS Ventura release, and I only needed 6 hours of initial usage, and then 6 further hours a few weeks later (when a new developer beta dropped) but they closed down my account on the second day.
AWS had no trouble taking my money, so with some finagling I was able to use them instead: https://github.com/thenickdude/proxmox-on-ec2
