Hmm, to risk identity theft for a mere $1 VPS.
It’s hard to take most companies seriously on their promises for data retention and security because past data theft events and current IT worker gossip shows no one takes this seriously enough.
He was banned hours ago
Did you get any emails asking for ID proof?
it was, but they changed their mind, they are f*cking OVH they can do whatever they want, and customers are not their priority
Pretty sure beside US not a single other was recurrent
I had a Kimsufi/OVHCloud atom dedi (1TB) in 2021 and got a request. I used my real credentials to sign up, with a proper and still functioning credit card. I had the server up for a month before getting the ID proof request. Server was around 10% utilized for storage and some inbound traffic at that point (uploading non critical backup of raw images and videos shot by me for easy retrieval if travelling).
We have had some identity theft issues in the past due to customer data leaks (at a large bank mind you, lol), so I don’t like uploading a driver licence or passport for every thing under the sun.
makes sense
Hello @alento ,
1) You can buy up to 100 VPS per region in the same first order. If you do in multiple orders, you will be considered as an existing customer form the second order and promo will not apply.
2) Not all clients require to provide ID; however ID verification is common and also automatically triggered when our fraud mechanism detects something. Such verification is in place to make sure we are hosting legit customers and protect existing ones.
Hope this helps, thanks
Hi,
Can I move my "VPS "Starter" US VPS to SG?
Hi @lontong , I'm afraid the promotion is not transferrable between websites. Hope this clarifies.
When signing up for an account, US / United States is not an option for country selection.

This is reasonable, we need to avoid fraud.
benchy:
Order status shows canceled after successful payment. No notification, no ID request and nothing.
Pfff, OVH still hasn't said why they charge US customers VAT that is hidden in the normal cost of the service.
pending 48hours,
They don't if you order from the US site, if you order from any other of their sites (i.e. IE, DE, etc), you can ticket in with some identity docs/proof of address & they will waive VAT for you. That's what I did with OVH IE.
Hello @HuntersPad, only the portal us.ovhcloud.com is opened to US residents, however the promo is no longer valid on this website. You can still purchase VPS there though and hosted in US: https://us.ovhcloud.com/vps/
This VPS offer is also available for our fellow Australians and Singaporeans via the below local websites: (fixed payment in local currency)
I can provide such photos too, in fact, I might open a site with various pictures and info about how to combine them in order to be able to pass such idiocies.
We can crowd-create it, just need pictures of people holding blank ID sized pieces of paper and edited out face. Big resolution preferable, then I will write instructions on how to use GIMP, how to fake the JPEG data and smooth it out.
Why only new customers, your old ones dont want vps for below 1$/m ?
Old customers and dogs don’t need cheap vps
The question is, what can we do with 100mbps port speed VPS these days ?
Answer: More idle servers and money burning mechanism
The question is what CANT be done ?
420 a month?
why I can't request forgot password, there is no email from ovh
I tried "Bring forward payment" for this offer a little bit, only to find the renewal price went back to $4.20. Wondering if this feature is behaving as expected?
Great offer, by the way
