WHY SWITCH TO KOAHOST

A choice you can stand behind.
Beyond the spec sheet.

01 / THE KOAHOST ADVANTAGE

Plan a snapshot before your changes

A configuration change or an update may justify a deliberate capture of the disk just before the intervention. KoaHost advertises snapshots among the inclusions of VPS and RDP. OVHcloud distinguishes this paid manual snapshot from its automatic Standard backup, already included on the VPS offers consulted. The KoaHost advantage therefore concerns precisely the presence of the snapshot in the configuration, without denying the existing backups at OVHcloud. To prepare your project, define the states to be kept, the data that continues to change and the expected recovery arrangements. The ability to retrieve a recent file and the ability to go back before a change are two different needs.

02 / THE KOAHOST ADVANTAGE

Choose Windows with its advertised licence

For a remote desktop, the system licence must be included in the budget from the comparison stage. KoaHost presents a RDP range whose published price includes a Windows licence. OVHcloud offers Windows Server as an option and states that its base server prices do not include this licence. The KoaHost benefit is to read a configuration intended for this use with this element already advertised. You must then select the appropriate edition and the number of users required. A Windows licence and multi-user access rights are not interchangeable; the Warden Remote configuration publishes an allocation of five simultaneous RDS users, other needs require confirmation.

03 / THE KOAHOST ADVANTAGE

Prepare an order with your cryptocurrencies

The KoaHost catalogue also targets users who want to allocate a crypto wallet to their infrastructure. Its seven options specify the asset and the network to choose for the order, instead of starting from a card or a PayPal account. The methods presented by OVHcloud in France remain banking-based or based on prepayment of its account. For this target, the KoaHost advantage is a consistent journey between configuration and crypto payment, with an account by email and password. Networks must be verified before any transfer; choosing crypto removes neither blockchain traces nor the customer's security obligations.

OUR CONVICTION

Why choose us
over OVHcloud.

KoaHost deserves your choice if you want to see at a glance the snapshots and the RDP licence among the configuration elements, while preparing a crypto order. The comparison targets these specific inclusions; it does not claim that OVHcloud would be devoid of backups or Windows servers.

CONCRETE EXAMPLES

Three projects.
Three reasons to choose KoaHost.

Projects for which the strengths of KoaHost compared with OVHcloud make perfect sense.

01

A Windows workstation for business software

You are looking for a remote desktop for a tool available only under Windows. The RDP KoaHost range includes the system licence in its price, which makes the budget easier to read. Identify the required edition, the software rights and the number of people before selecting a configuration.

02

A site that evolves through occasional interventions

Your application changes during prepared updates rather than continuously. The advertised snapshot included at KoaHost meets the need to consider a state before each important intervention. Keep database exports separately and define the recovery procedure suited to your service.

03

A personal infrastructure funded in crypto

You want to match a VPS budget to an asset you already hold. KoaHost presents BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL and USDT or USDC options in its catalogue. This choice meets a different need from ordering by card, PayPal or bank transfer as described for OVHcloud in France.

PREPARING YOUR MOVE

From OVHcloud to KoaHost.
A move that takes preparation.

  1. Separate your OVHcloud copies

    Identify the Standard or Premium backups, the manual snapshots and the application exports. Their uses and durations differ. Prepare an independent, reusable copy before the transition, without assuming that a restore from a OVHcloud option can be done directly on the destination.

  2. Check Windows and the application licences

    For a Windows VPS, note the edition, the users and the installed software. A licence attached to the OVHcloud offer is not presumed transferable. Choose the edition of the RDP range and confirm the software rights and simultaneous access before any reinstallation.

  3. Inventory the addresses and network dependencies

    Note the DNS, certificates, additional addresses and filtering rules used at OVHcloud. The Additional IP mechanisms remain specific to the provider. Prepare the new destinations and application permissions without assuming that an address or a disk mount will be retained automatically.

  4. Validate the destination before changing access

    Test the site or desktop on the available destination with a copy of the data. Plan the final synchronisation, the DNS changes and a possible rollback. The old services and their copies should be kept until recovery and access have been validated.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Moving from OVHcloud
to KoaHost.

What is the benefit of the licence included in the RDP range?

You are comparing a Windows configuration whose advertised price includes the system licence. On the OVHcloud VPS compared, Windows is a paid option added to the base price. The RDS needs remain to be examined: Warden Remote publishes five simultaneous users; other allocations depend on the level chosen.

What are the snapshots included with the VPS and RDP for?

A snapshot preserves a state of the server to prepare a recovery or a change. The KoaHost catalogue includes them on VPS and RDP, while OVHcloud sells the manual snapshot as a VPS option. This is distinct from the standard daily backup already included at OVHcloud. Also keep your application exports independent.

Can I choose a cryptocurrency rather than a bank card?

The KoaHost journey presents seven payment options: BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL, USDT on Ethereum or TRON and USDC on Ethereum. This is a difference from the French methods OVHcloud consulted, which list banking solutions, PayPal and prepayment. The network chosen must match the asset of the order.

How do I move my site currently on a OVHcloud VPS?

List its dependencies, export the files and the database, then prepare the destination environment. Test the site with temporary access before any DNS change. Keep the old service during the final verification and plan for synchronising the data that changes during the migration.
