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.

 
Vultr

 
Choopa

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.
