# An alternative to OVHcloud
> If you have decided to move from OVHcloud, Incognito VPS is an option when identity checks are the problem. Incognito VPS runs in 16 locations, with 8 picked for legal protections, requires no identity, and takes crypto only—from $4.00 per month. But OVHcloud still wins where scale matters: it owns its fibre and builds its own servers at a level we don't match.

## What OVHcloud is

Europe’s largest hosting company, with its own datacentres, its own network backbone and a very deep bare-metal catalogue.

## What OVHcloud does better than Incognito VPS

OVH owns its fibre and builds its own servers at a scale nobody in this comparison approaches. Their anti-DDoS is included by default and genuinely good, and their bare-metal range is unmatched in Europe.

## Where Incognito VPS differs

- No KYC — OVH requires verified identity and billing details
- Crypto-only settlement
- Jurisdictions outside French and EU enforcement reach
- No account suspension driven by EU content-policy pressure
