Choopa vs Vultr
-
I have been looking at some of the options on Choopa (which I believe is Vultr) and I am wandering if anyone has used this.
Some of the configuration options are more precise. For example I can bump a $109 16GB Xeon instance up to 32GB of ram as opposed to doubling the capacity the way Vultr prices it.
I guess my questions are...
1.) Is this exactly the same datacenter, just different interface, marketing and pricing options?
2.) Is anyone using or has used Choopa?
3.) Am I missing something, because I do like Vultr's interface better

Choopa might just resell Vultr.

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.
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.
