Which region should I choose for players in Addis Ababa?

Bengaluru for the lowest ping. If your friends are spread across continents, pick the region in the middle of the group; Frankfurt is the next closest to Addis Ababa at an estimated 90 ms.

Is the free server available from Ethiopia?

Yes. The free tier is available worldwide and runs on the United States and Spain nodes, subject to capacity. It has 3.5 GB RAM, sleeps after 15 idle minutes and wakes when a player joins. No card is needed.

Can I pay in Ethiopian Birr?

Plans are charged in US dollars. Any Visa, Mastercard or American Express card from Ethiopia works, and your bank converts at its own rate. The Ethiopian Birr prices on this page are estimates to help you compare.

Can my friends on phones and consoles join from Addis Ababa?

Yes. Create a Bedrock server, or run a Java server with Geyser so both editions join the same world. Bedrock uses UDP port 19132, which the panel assigns for you.

Does Enzonic have a data centre in Addis Ababa?

No. Enzonic runs its own hardware in the United States and Spain and rents capacity in London, Frankfurt, Bengaluru and Singapore. This page is here to tell you honestly which of those is closest to Addis Ababa and what to expect.

Estimates assume fibre at about 200,000 km/s with routes 1.5 times the straight line, plus a few milliseconds for the last mile. Under 60 ms feels instant in Minecraft; under 120 ms is still comfortable.
