Comparison
Both European, different shapes
QloudHost and OffshoreKaka are both offshore hosting providers with European infrastructure, both accept cryptocurrency, and both target customers who picked their jurisdiction deliberately. On the face of it we look similar.
The differences are in the details that matter once you are actually running something: which virtualisation, which storage, how many locations, and what the abuse policy says. Here is a fair account of both.
Side by side
| OffshoreKaka | QloudHost | |
|---|---|---|
| Locations | Amsterdam, Frankfurt | Netherlands and other European options |
| Virtualisation | KVM on every VPS plan | Check the specific plan |
| Storage | Pure NVMe on all plans | Check the specific plan |
| Root access | Full, all VPS plans | Yes on VPS |
| Crypto payment | Yes, no identity verification | Yes |
| Products | Shared, VPS, reseller, dedicated | Shared, VPS, dedicated |
| Entry VPS | 2 cores, 4GB, 40GB NVMe, 20TB, ₹999/mo | Varies |
| Provisioning | About 60 seconds | Varies |
Both companies change plans and pricing. Treat this as a starting point and verify current details with each provider directly.
What to check on both
Rather than trusting anyone’s comparison table, these are the questions that actually separate hosting providers. Ask both.
- Is this exact plan KVM? Not the product line, the plan. Some providers mix KVM and container tiers, and the container ones allow overselling.
- Is the storage NVMe or SATA SSD? Both get called SSD. The difference on database workloads is large.
- Is memory dedicated or burstable? Burstable means shared and oversellable.
- Is there a console in the panel? For when a firewall rule locks you out.
- What triggers a suspension? A complaint, or a court order. This is the single most important answer.
- What is the renewal price? Not the introductory one.
- Is outbound port 25 open? Relevant if your application sends mail.
A provider who answers all seven clearly is telling you something good about how they operate, whichever one you end up with.
Pick QloudHost if
- They have a location you need that we do not. Straightforward, and worth checking their current list.
- Their pricing on the exact configuration you want is better. Compare like for like: same RAM, same virtualisation, same storage type.
- You want a specific product we do not offer.
- Their abuse policy suits your content better. Read both. Policies differ in ways that matter for specific categories.
Pick OffshoreKaka if
- You want KVM guaranteed on every plan. No container tier exists, so there is nothing to check plan by plan.
- You want NVMe as standard rather than as a difference between plans.
- You want both Amsterdam and Frankfurt from one provider, so you can pick the jurisdiction that fits and move later.
- You want the full range in one place: shared for small sites, VPS when you outgrow it, reseller if you sell to clients, dedicated when you need the metal.
- You want crypto without identity verification.
Testing either one
Twenty minutes on a trial tells you more than any review. Run these on whichever you try:
systemd-detect-virt
lsblk -d -o NAME,SIZE,ROTA,MODEL
top -bn1 | head -3The first should say kvm. The second should show ROTA 0 for solid state. The third has a steal time column, st, and anything consistently above a few percent means the physical host is oversubscribed and your performance depends on strangers.
Then ping the IP from where your visitors actually are, and check the IP against major blocklists if you plan to send mail. Our buying guide covers the full test list.

FAQ
Which one is better?
They overlap heavily, so it comes down to the specific plan and the specific policy. Compare like for like on virtualisation and storage, read both abuse policies, and test the support before paying. We would rather you choose on evidence than on a table we wrote.
Are both really DMCA ignored?
Both host in the EU, where DMCA is a United States statute with no direct force. That means an automated bulk notice does not automatically remove content. It does not mean copyright does not apply, because the EU has its own framework and a properly formed claim is enforceable. More on this in is offshore hosting legal.
Can I move between providers later?
Yes. A hosting migration is copy the files and database, test on the new server, then change DNS. Rankings are unaffected as long as URLs stay the same and there is no downtime. Our migration guide has the sequence.
Does either affect my Google ranking?
No. Google does not rank by host or by server country. What it measures is speed and availability, and those come from the plan you chose and how you configured it rather than from the logo on the invoice.
