Thanks for the kudos. We're open to supporting other providers as well, including other types of services beyond compute (e.g. databases and specific verticals.)

Do you have some specific providers you were interested in having connected?

When your European region exists: I'd love to see Hetzner(.com) connected.
Looks like they're in Germany/Finland. We'll try.
Be still my beating heart. Seriously? I would drop my Hetzner storage boxes in a heartbeat if I could connect to you instead on a fast link. I have, through the years, have used their auctions to snatch quite a few SSD only boxes and so I need external mass storage their network storage offer is ... ahem ... not the fastest! I would welcome something better :)
I'll second what the others have said. Especially their new Hetzner Cloud would be a perfect fit. It's one of the cheapest (if not the cheapest) cloud option I could find. Combining that with your B2 storage would be a perfect match.

And the best thing: They don't only focus on price but the quality is great as well.

And for us being a german/european provider is a bonus (GDPR).

Yeah Hetzner would be awesome. We already run some stuff over there so I could foresee spinning up some transcoders if you have connectivity there.
Just to second that. Hetzner has a great product in Europe for compute but they lack simple storage options. Connecting both would be great.
I've been using b2 and linode and I would benefit from having those two services connected :)
Great - we'll try to connect with them.
I can second this. We run significant bandwidth from you guys to Linode, and this would help immensely in a few of our applications.

We also use Digital Ocean, so they'd be our second choice; however, I doubt they'll be willing to integrate with a direct competitor to their Spaces product.

I guess we can explore with DO, but certainly will with Linode.

Not off hand, but lots of colleagues in hosting, exchange fabrics, SaaS products, etc and I want to be able to recommend a partnership to them whenever a good fit appears.

Excellent. We just created this Google Form to add/recommend partners: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdObw8HKH4uDexOg-fl...
Vultr would be great!
