Hello @geobouwmeester
DigitalOcean additionally has 4 legacy data centers: AMS2, NYC2, SFO1, and SFO2. We have restricted resource creation in legacy data centers because there is no remaining physical space to expand within those data centers. Users who have existing Droplets in these data centers can continue to create additional Droplets there.
To create Droplets in these geographical regions, we strongly recommend using AMS3, NYC3, and SFO3.
