Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between MacMiniVault and MyRemoteMac?

MacMiniVault offers both dedicated hosting and colocation (where you send your own Mac). MyRemoteMac focuses exclusively on providing dedicated macOS servers on demand, optimized for developers and CI/CD, without the need to own or ship hardware.

Why choose a dedicated macOS server over colocation?

Dedicated server rental eliminates the upfront cost of hardware, shipping logistics, and maintenance responsibilities. You get instant provisioning and can scale up or down monthly, whereas colocation requires managing your own physical device.

Can MyRemoteMac support CI/CD workloads?

Yes. MyRemoteMac is built for CI/CD. Our servers are optimized for Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, and Xcode build automation, offering high performance and reliability.

How does pricing compare?

MyRemoteMac offers simple, transparent monthly pricing that includes the hardware, power, and network. MacMiniVault has various pricing models depending on whether you rent or colocate. We aim for predictability without hidden fees.
