Thank you! I do currently run a few droplets (for about 5+ years) over there. but it won’t let me make anymore… I did try making fresh and doing snapshot… I was in SFO3 since it wouldn’t let me do it in SFO2 when i made it in the beginning…

Hi there,

According to the Regional Availability Matrix , DigitalOcean has 4 legacy datacenters: AMS2, NYC2, SFO1, and SFO2.

Resource creation has been restricted in those legacy datacenters because there is no remaining physical space to expand within those datacenters.

Users who have existing Droplets in these datacenters can continue to create additional Droplets there.

Hope that this helps.

Best,

Bobby
