Which region should I choose for players in Dammam?

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 Dammam at an estimated 75 ms.

Is the free server available from Saudi Arabia?

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 Saudi Riyal?

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

Can my friends on phones and consoles join from Dammam?

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.
