TICKET ARCHIVE -> Apple Mac Hosting

slipknot - May 13, 2005 - 8:38 am

Anybody got any recommendations for good apple hosts? - don't want to go linux/bsd/windows. I like apple and want to use it. I really want to get a dedicated xserve but can't afford it yet so I've been looking at this:

http://www.rackmounted.com/macmini.php

The only small problem is that it is loaded with OSX and not OSX server. If it was to work out I'd go on to their dedicated xserve later:

http://www.rackmounted.com/xserve.php

I've googled until my heads hurts but can't find anything better than this.

Oh yeah and I was going to get iTools. Can I install this on my local machine to admin the server or does it have to be on the host? Plus is it as good as I keep reading about?

Any thought, views, recommendation gratefully received.

We use www.itsamac.com which hosts on XServes and OS X Server. There's also www.xrackhosting.com which uses the same.

They both have shared hosting where you are on a shared server.

xrackhosting has dedicated hosting on XServes if you decide you want to go that far.

Thanks for the suggestions. xrackhosting looks good but much more expensive than rackmounted and with less bandwidth but they do put OSX server on the mini mac.
