macOS VPS hosting for Xcode, Swift and iOS development

A macOS VPS is a virtual Mac running in our data center on Apple hardware. You reach it remotely and use it like a Mac for development: Xcode, the iOS simulators, code signing and your build tools, without buying hardware for every developer.

We email the connection details as soon as your Mac is ready. macOS includes Screen Sharing, which any VNC client can open, and Remote Login for SSH and SFTP; both are in System Settings under General and Sharing, so you can work from Windows, Linux or another Mac.

Choose the version that runs the Xcode release you need. Xcode 26, which App Store Connect has required for uploads since 28 April 2026, needs macOS Sequoia 15.6 or later. The order form lists the macOS versions each plan offers.

Yes. You need your own Apple Developer Program membership and a supported Xcode: since 28 April 2026, App Store Connect accepts apps built with Xcode 26 or later. From April 2027, apps must be built with the iOS 27 SDK, which comes with Xcode 27; Xcode 27 runs only on Macs with Apple silicon.

Yes. Register it as a self-hosted runner for GitHub Actions or GitLab, or as a Jenkins agent, and automate builds, tests, code signing and uploads with tools such as fastlane. Because the Mac stays online, jobs can run at any hour.

Within your team, yes: one person at a time controls the desktop through Screen Sharing, while others can use SSH and CI jobs can keep running. For parallel desktop work, give each developer their own Mac.

Both are Macs on Apple hardware with the same macOS versions and locations. macOS VDS plans add nested virtualization and are the larger tier, with more vCPU, more memory and NVMe storage, for big projects and teams that build all day.

Yes. A dedicated IPv4 address is an option in the order form. Choose it when your Mac needs a fixed public address, for example for webhooks from your Git server, allow lists of build and signing services, or direct SSH access from your own tools.

Yes. Xcode is an app, so you can install several releases side by side, for example with a tool such as xcodes, and switch the active one with xcode-select. Keep an eye on disk space: every Xcode release and simulator runtime takes many gigabytes, and you can add disk space in the order form.

No. macOS VPS plans do not offer nested virtualization, so tools that start their own virtual machines, such as Docker Desktop or the Android emulator, do not run on them. Choose a macOS VDS, where nested virtualization is available, or run your containers on a Linux VPS next to your Mac.

Yes. Free weekly and monthly backups are included with every plan. For data that changes every day, also keep copies of your own, for example with an off-site backup tool, so you can restore exactly the version you need.

Yes. macOS servers are covered by our refund policy: cancel within 30 days of payment and ask for a refund. For macOS services any setup cost is deducted from the refund, and payments made in cryptocurrency are final.

You choose the location when you order: Frankfurt DE, Los Angeles US, Dallas US and Amsterdam NL.

Every plan lists the billing cycles it is offered with. Switch the cycle above the plans to compare prices; longer cycles show the saving against monthly billing when there is one.

Choose one of the payment methods offered at checkout. Every invoice also stays available in the client area, where you can pay it online.

Your service appears in the client area as soon as it is set up. From there you can manage it, pay invoices and open support tickets.
