About DigitalOcean SFO1

DigitalOcean SFO1 in San Francisco, California is a legacy DigitalOcean cloud infrastructure location for existing San Francisco-region workloads. SFO1 supports DigitalOcean IaaS deployments for customers with existing resources in the facility, while new regional growth is directed to SFO3. DigitalOcean identifies SFO1, SFO2, AMS2, and NYC2 as legacy datacenters with restricted resource creation because the facilities have no remaining physical space to expand. Existing Droplet users can continue creating additional Droplets in SFO1, while DigitalOcean recommends SFO3 for new San Francisco deployments.

SFO1 is a cloud-service location rather than a retail colocation facility. Customers deploy infrastructure through DigitalOcean’s platform instead of leasing cabinets, cages, or private suites. The facility remains part of DigitalOcean’s San Francisco footprint and supports continuity for legacy workloads that need to remain in the West Coast region. DigitalOcean’s public regional-availability guidance treats SFO1 as capacity-constrained, so the facility’s primary directory value is legacy workload continuity rather than new cloud expansion.

San Francisco placement gives SFO1 proximity to Bay Area technology, SaaS, media, ecommerce, gaming, and developer ecosystems, with reach across Northern California, Silicon Valley, the Pacific Northwest, and West Coast user bases. DigitalOcean maintains platform-level SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 Type II, Global PRP, and HIPAA workload eligibility, with infrastructure-layer certification materials available through its Security Reports & Certifications Center.
