      I’m pretty sure that chooopa is just marketing VPSs with VULTR. At the very least, they are in the same data center.

        What I had read when I first learned about Vultr was that Choopa had been around for 15 or 20 years and doing KVM, and I believe put together the Vultr spin off or division. I am looking now for that info.

            Never heard of Choopa before. Looking at the news about Vultr being a part of Choopa, looks like random people just speculating. Did you find something official?

              It is kind of interesting though that the 4 places Vultr has storage instances are the 4 places Choopa has datacenters.

              One site said that Choopa owns both Vultr and Gameservers (or whatever it’s called).

                Yeah I need to look a little harder because I saw an actual SEC filing originally when I googled a while back.

                I thought it was on crunchbase but I see no mention of Choopa now

                  Looks like the same mob to me.

                  Their phone numbers are within the same 100 block in-dial range & they share a Fax number.

                  Lots of coincidences but I can't find anything conclusive/actually stating that they are one and the same, with my few minutes of searching.
                  It does look a lot like they are now two separate companies owned/founded by the same person. Maybe once upon a time Vultr was the spawn of Choopa but now is an entirely (business-wise) operation.

                  Also the Vultr TOS makes no mention of Choopa.

                      Thats what I thought, so I wonder if its the same infrastructure and I can get a more customized VPS at Choopa, or if its different hardware.

                      I am probably going to just ask both companies tomorrow about the differences.

                        From a quick look at Choopa, they didn't seem to offer VPS at all. If you want that, they pass you over to Vultr.

                          You are right, I was on dedicated servers...

                            This actually all started from looking at them for colo. At least I know their network is good.

                            Still looking for VPS on Hyper-V thought for RDS application.
