Hi, I have used reverse ns lookup and found crocweb using OVH data centers. Is that true can I use the same server to compete crocweb?

CrocWeb using OVH?

Never heard of CrocWeb.
Regardless, just because you're in the same datacenter as them doesn't mean you'd be providing the same service.

@HalfEatenPie is right. You can set up your business based in any data centre, but server setup, security, management and supporting your clients (among other things) will all be your responsibility.
If I remember rightly, they moved their main website to OVH when all of their servers were attacked by DDoS, so their client sites were offline and their own website. Moving to OVH meant their website was protected from DDoS and that their website would be online if their clients services went offline, this is quite common practise from hosts to ensure their websites are accessible.
You can query them on this if you wish but as others have said, being in the same datacenter doesn't mean you can provide the same level or quality of service.

Are you doing a reverse lookup of their main site or of their client servers? I'm fairly certain it was only their main site they moved to OVH, though that could of changed.
You could simply ask them?
Ask them.
It seems weird to put your website out when you run your own network and maintain own hardware presence.

isn't it unethical to ask the hosting company about their parent company..or will they tell me the truth?
Nothing wrong with asking a company what Datacenter they use for their hosting services, most companies have nothing to hide and will gladly say so.

Well I got the answer from them
Is there a way I can verify that by some reverse lookup method?

Get a test IP.
Cologix is certainly at that address.

Appears Crocweb has used Netelligent at that location... See: https://www.robtex.com/as/as10929.html
Current BGP on their ASN shows direct upstreams though:

Hey Guys,
Only our main website is hosted with OVH so our clients can always reach us if there are any issues.
Our hardware is colocated within Cologix datacenter at 1250RL, Montreal, Quebec.
We were using Netelligent's network previously however since last year we have invested in our own network. We now operate our own bgp network: http://bgp.he.net/AS63068
Let me know if anyone has any further questions.
Thanks.

Thanks for sharing information.....your servers are always up and fast. Never had to face any issue. Are you planning to sell dedicated servers also?
