What you get

Included with every Mac.

Every Mac mini we rack comes with the same setup, whatever the chip.

  • The whole Mac is yours

    One Mac mini, one customer. No virtual machines and nobody else on it.

  • macOS, ready to use

    The macOS version you choose, installed fresh, with your SSH key already in place.

  • SSH and remote desktop

    Log in over SSH or open the desktop with macOS screen sharing, from the first minute.

  • A fast, dedicated port

    Gigabit on M1 to M4, 2.5 gigabit on the 2026 models, with a public IPv4 and IPv6 address.

  • Restart and reinstall yourself

    Restart the Mac or reinstall macOS from the dashboard, at any hour, without a ticket.

  • See the real screen

    A console in the browser, wired to the hardware, so you get in even when macOS will not boot.

  • Hardware replaced fast

    If the Mac fails, we replace it with the same model within the day and move your disk over.

Hosted in Europe

  • Racks in the EU.

    The Macs and every backup of them are in the European Union.

  • GDPR.

    Your data is processed under the GDPR. A data processing agreement is available on request.

Same racks, same setup, a different chip.

Before you pick

Frequently asked questions.

The ones people ask before the first month. Anything else, write to us below.

What do I get?

A Mac mini in our racks, yours alone, with macOS installed and SSH and remote desktop access. We keep it powered, cooled and connected. You use it like a Mac on your desk.

How is it billed?

By the day, the month or the year, in EUR or USD, at the same price when you renew. A day costs the month divided by thirty plus a fifth, with a 24-hour minimum. A year takes a fifth off and is paid once.

Is hosting macOS allowed?

Yes. Apple's licence allows macOS on Apple hardware rented to one customer for at least 24 hours at a time. There is no virtualisation in between.

How fast is it ready?

Builds marked ready today are handed over within minutes. In three days means the Mac is in stock but not yet racked. The 2026 Macs ship from Apple on 22 September and go into the racks in order of request.

Which generations are there?

Every Mac mini with an Apple chip: M1, M2 and M2 Pro, M4 and M4 Pro, M5 Pro and M6. There is no M3 and no plain M5 Mac mini, because Apple never made them.

Can I use a remote desktop?

Yes. macOS screen sharing and Apple Remote Desktop work over the public address, or through a VPN into your own network. Any VNC client works too. SSH is on from the start.

Which macOS versions can I run?

Any version the Mac supports, from the one it shipped with to the current release. You choose when you order and can reinstall a different one yourself later.

What if the Mac fails?

We replace it within the day with the same model and move your disk over, or restore your latest snapshot. Snapshots are yours to take from the dashboard.
