Incognito VPS vs OVHcloud
Europe’s largest hosting company, with its own datacentres, its own network backbone and a very deep bare-metal catalogue.
Answer
The main differences between Incognito VPS and OVHcloud are identity checks and where they run. OVHcloud demands full KYC and has 14 locations; Incognito VPS requires no identity and operates in 16, with 8 chosen for legal protections. OVHcloud builds its own servers and owns its fibre at a scale others don't approach.
What they do better
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.

Frequently asked questions
01 What does OVHcloud do better than Incognito VPS?
OVHcloud's strong suit is its infrastructure: it owns its fibre and manufactures its own servers at a scale unmatched in this comparison. Its anti-DDoS protection comes standard and performs well, and its bare-metal lineup is the most extensive in Europe.
02 Does OVHcloud require identity verification?
OVHcloud requires full identity verification (KYC). Incognito VPS collects no personal information—no name, email, phone, or document—at signup or checkout.
03 Does OVHcloud accept Monero?
OVHcloud does not accept cryptocurrency in any form. Incognito VPS, by contrast, accepts XMR payments natively.
04 Should I switch from OVHcloud to Incognito VPS?
Choose Incognito VPS if you need no identity checks, crypto settlement, or a jurisdiction OVHcloud doesn't cover. Choose OVHcloud if you value owning the network and building your own servers—a genuine advantage we don't dispute.
