Which region should I choose for players in Messina?

Frankfurt for the lowest ping. If your friends are spread across continents, pick the region in the middle of the group; London is the next closest to Messina at an estimated 35 ms.

Is the free server available from Italy?

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.

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

Can my friends on phones and consoles join from Messina?

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.

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 Messina and what to expect.
