Any webhost that provide instant setup?
I mean like no ID checks and they provide instant setup if I am paying by paypal. I know credit card they find it risky but I am paying with paypal they should not ask for any ID verification and Hostgator claims they provide instant setup but its very rare they flag your order even if you pay by paypal.

There are many web hosts that do so, they should have it stated on their websites. But if you're still not sure you can contact any hosts you're interested in to make sure.

As long as you don't run into any problems during the fraud check then you shouldn't have a problem. Even if you're paying with PayPal companies generally will still run a fraud check to confirm your billing address with your IP location and a few other factors.

There are many things that can cause them to flag your order and request verification whether you are wanting to pay via PayPal, Credit Card, or any other method.
Most hosts offer instant setup however if there is a fraud check issue you're not going to get automatically set up in most cases.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

I'd rather agree with ItsJustHosting. That is the common for the most companies. And that could be automated verification and speed of the processing will depend only on you

Glad to see you find your host. Give us a review on how it goes with them after a couple of months. Have a nice hosting journey with them.
Regarding the processing of order it depends on the policy of the host. If your fraud check score is a bit high and if there is any mismatch in the informations provided you need to wait till it is clarified.

Any web host setting up accounts instantly without any fraud checks and verification of the account is only asking for trouble. They would be inviting hackers, spammers to freely come and host on their servers. Most web hosts use to offer instant setup until the fraud/hacker/spammer rate went pretty up high.
Good luck with your new web host, I hope you have a happy journey! Be sure to share your experience with us in a few months

I think most shared host has instant setup. If they find fraud in few hours time, they can simply suspend you

Instant web hosting is sometimes difficult to find due to anti-fraud measures. It is unfortunate that such anti-fraud measures are often needed, but they usually are needed.

As long as you are doing everything by the book you will not get a checkup. Just make sure everything matches.

Most hosts offer instant setup on shared hosting.
Some do basic checks depending on your location. I have never been flagged by any host. Just provide real information. Also make sure your PayPal email address matches the email address you are using to order your hosting.
Order being flagged depends on many factors, but if you are clean, you should not worry.
Regards

As posted by someone earlier; we used to do instant set-up with automated fraud checks. However these days it's just too risky.An automated set-up even caught within an hour could have allowed spam to be sent or viruses or bots sent during that hour.
An honest person will understand a slight delay as alive person verifies the information and gives the "system" the OK to go ahead. It's just too easy for the bad guys these days. They know all hosting automation systems so if you allow automatic "instant" creation as we used to they know how to get past any system's automated anti-fraud. The methods are posted on the "bad guys" networks.
So a legitimate person who wants their information to be on a secure host shouldn't mind a host that cares more about security.New Idea Hosting NO Overselling-Business-Grade, Shared Only! New-In House Design Team.

I've converted all signups in my hosting businesses to be verified before going active. We just don't do instant signups anymore. As DDT says, it's too risky with the amount of fraud signups flying around out there.
Even hosts that don't provide instant setup can usually get you setup within a day. I guess that may be too long depending on your needs; however, I think most people now have the expectation that unless it's explicitly stated, hosts do not offer instant signups anymore.Daniel B., CEO - Bezoka.com and Ungigs.com
