You’ve requested it, and now it’s here! DigitalOcean is happy to announce that all droplets in NYC2 are now equipped with Shared Private Networking, allowing them to communicate with other droplets in that same datacenter. You can enable shared private networking on your Droplet from the Droplet create screen.
Traffic sent between Droplets across the private network will not count towards the bandwidth costs and can be used for database replication, file storage, and similar host to host communication. Check out our [full length tutorial](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-and-use-digitalocean-private-networking) on how to set-up and use Shared Private Networking.
