    Vultr - What hardware exactly are they running on their SSD nodes?

    Someone was poking around Vultr tonight and looking at CPU related info.   Reason why?   Hardware builds there are clouded in mystery. cat /proc/cpuinfo outputs semi-vague info.... there at Vultr... The Storage VPS offering is a match on output for:  Intel® Xeon® CPU E5506 @ 2.13GHz [Family 6...

    Choopa sends out Vultr to drown in the DigitalOcean

    So Choopa has dropped a new product called Vultr.com, it's attempt to compete directly with DigitalOcean. A side-by-side comparison of vultr.com and digitialocean.com show a lot of similarities.  A total ripoff if I may say so myself. The bottom end package 512MB, 20GB disk and 1TB transit is...
