"I started with HostMyApple for $25/mo but the shared VPS was too slow for Xcode builds. Switching to MyRemoteMac's dedicated M4 was a night-and-day difference."
"Our compliance team flagged the shared VPS approach. MyRemoteMac's dedicated hardware with 1:1 Apple compliance solved the issue immediately."
"The full root access and 10Gbps network on MyRemoteMac made setting up our GitHub Actions runner trivial. HostMyApple's VPS just could not deliver that level of control."
HostMyApple is a Mac VPS hosting provider that offers virtualized macOS environments starting around $25/month. They run multiple virtual machines on shared Mac hardware, giving each user a portion of the CPU, RAM, and storage.
MyRemoteMac provides dedicated physical Mac servers instead of shared VPS. You get full hardware access, consistent performance without noisy neighbors, full root access, GPU and Neural Engine access, and full Apple EULA compliance — something shared VPS hosting cannot guarantee.
Apple's macOS EULA requires that each macOS instance runs on Apple-branded hardware with 1:1 allocation. VPS hosting that runs multiple macOS virtual machines on a single host may violate this license. Dedicated hosting like MyRemoteMac is fully compliant.
HostMyApple VPS plans start around $25/month for limited shared resources. MyRemoteMac dedicated servers start at $75/month, but you get an entire physical Mac Mini M4 with all 10 CPU cores, 16GB memory, and 256GB SSD exclusively yours.
