Mac mini Hosting
A physical Mac mini in a data center, one unit at a time. Use one of ours or bring your own.
Overview
Mac mini hosting gives you a physical Mac mini in a data center, one unit at a time. It is real hardware rather than a virtual machine, so macOS-only work can run around the clock without a machine on your desk.
We create an administrator account with the username and password you choose, and hand over the machine ready for SSH and screen sharing (VNC). Automatic setup through Apple Business Manager and MDM means no on-site work is needed when a unit is available.
For operations, our units are managed by our MDM and have a management account. When you cancel, the unit is fully erased and reset, so please move your data out first.
You can also bring your own Mac mini. We provide the space and network connection, and you manage the machine, macOS and your data. It is not enrolled in our MDM, and it is shipped back freight collect, without being erased, when you cancel.
Machines are installed at our data center location, whether we provide them or you bring your own. No separate internet connection is needed.
Who it is for
- Teams automating iOS and macOS builds and tests
- People running AI agents and automation on a Mac around the clock
- Anyone running macOS-only software as a server
- Owners of a Mac mini who want data center power and network for it
