“Watchman Monitoring requires its build servers to be available 24/7, and Mac Mini Vault has proven itself to be the ideal host. The skilled staff have been a pleasure to work with, helping us prepare for remote hosting, answering questions within minutes. We value their generosity, giving back to the Mac IT community via their GitHub repos.”
Allen Hancock, Founder, Watchman Monitoring
Dedicated Server: MacMiniVault.com owns the hardware, and you are simply renting the hardware on a monthly basis. MacMiniVault.com pays for all the hardware repairs, and you are never charged for repairs. Our dedicated lineup spans Apple silicon (M6, M5 Pro, M4, M2, and M1) and Intel Mac minis, plus Mac Studios.
Colocation: The customer owns the hardware and is responsible for any hardware failures. Do you already own a Mac mini that you would like to host in a data center? Consider our Mac mini Colocation service.
All of our Dedicated Mac mini servers are connected to the Internet at 1Gbps. As long as you are not violating our terms of service and acceptable use policy you will enjoy all the bandwidth you can use.
All of our Dedicated Mac mini servers are provisioned within 24 hours during business days. Once your mini is provisioned in the datacenter, the hosting instructions will be sent to the email address you provided during the sign up process.
You are responsible for backing up the data on any Mac mini server. You will have full root / administrator access to your mini and once you change the password MacMiniVault.com engineers will not have access to your mini. We offer two different external drive options (HDD/SSD) so that you can perform time machine backups or clone your drive. If your mini ever fails, our engineers can restore from your external drive backup.
Every Dedicated Mac mini receives (1) IPv4 address. Additional IPv4 addresses can be added to your hosting account for $1.99 per month. If you would like an IPv6 allocation free of charge, open a support ticket or send an email support@macminivault.com.
