Amazon Web Services requires full identity verification. Incognito VPS collects no identity data — no name, email, phone, or document during signup or checkout.
03 Does Amazon Web Services accept Monero?
No. Amazon Web Services accepts no cryptocurrency whatsoever. Incognito VPS, by contrast, settles XMR natively.
04 Should I switch from Amazon Web Services to Incognito VPS?
