Which region should I choose for players in Kampala?

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 Kampala at an estimated 100 ms.

Is the free server available from Uganda?

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 Ugandan Shilling?

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

Can my friends on phones and consoles join from Kampala?

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 Kampala?

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 Kampala 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.

Free Minecraft servers run in the United States and Spain. From Central Region the closer of the two is Spain, an estimated 100 ms.
