I would think a VPS provider is not the intended use of the libcloud api. Libcloud is designed for cloud infrastructures and currently being extended to key/value stores like CloudStore and S3.
I think what would help your case more would be if you can go more into how you define a vps. Is it a uml based jail? BSD style Jail? Or is it a virtualized private infrastructure?

We also provide VPS solution since 3 years, nowaday in a datacenter located in Paris, but we will open a second one in America (Baltimore) in some weeks. Also, we just launch a beta release of our public API (xmlrpc based) for our customers to be able to manage their VPS and associated resources. This API will be open to every customers in a short term. I make the exercice to checkout libcloud (python version) some days ago and develop a driver to act with our API that I integrate without complexity in this lib. So from my point of view we can become a new provider for libcloud. But I've got some questions to consider such integration ;) What do you expect or require to integrate a new provider into your baseline ? Do you have special considerations that we must take care of, for such work ? I can provide a git patch or pull request easily if you want.
