Which region should I choose for players in Funchal?

Spain 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 Funchal at an estimated 45 ms.

Is the free server available from Portugal?

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 Portugal 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 Funchal?

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.
