* VPS = VDS *

In a typical VPS setup, each host is assigned a block of IPs, and you are issued an IP from that block. So if you wanted to move your IP, they would need to move the whole block, and since they have other customers on that block, it's not happening. You could setup your network to where you can bring any IP, in any block, on any server, but as far as I know only SoftLayer runs that type of network.

For example, we''ve talked to NFO and they said they are unable to move IPs to a VPS because it is automated. When a server is provisioned their system probably automatically edits the routing table to point to the proper location.

This can of course be done manually, but they still decline to do it. This concept extends to other hosts.
