Which region should I choose for players in Pikine?

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 Pikine at an estimated 75 ms.

Is the free server available from Senegal?

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 West African CFA Franc?

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

Can my friends on phones and consoles join from Pikine?

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 Pikine?
