Our honest verdict
OVH is the European cost leader for dedicated hosting but requires identity verification and operates under French/EU law. If privacy is not a concern, OVH is hard to beat on price; if it is, ServPrivacy is a fundamentally different product.
Pick ServPrivacy if
Choose ServPrivacy if: you need DMCA-ignored hosting, or the KYC requirement of OVH is a dealbreaker.
Pick OVH if
Choose OVH if: price is king and neither identity privacy nor DMCA-free operation matters to you.
