MacStadium does remote Mac mini hosting, providing customers an all-inclusive Mac mini in a safe, controlled datacenter (just like the folks at MacMiniColo which we've visited and written about before). If you have an Mac mini already, you can send it to them for hosting or lease or purchase one by purchasing it from the company. A remote server for yourself can be very useful and using a Mac mini for the task is among the cheapest and easiest methods to achieve this.

In actual fact MacStadium not only lets MacStadium provide hosting it has also put up blog posts over the past month or so, going through a few different ways to use a connected mini for yourself. You could install a remote Minecraft server on it, for example creating a world you and your friends can connect to anytime. https://minecraftservers.best/ You could also set up Kerio Connect which is a Microsoft Exchange-style method for users to share their email calendars, contacts, and emails with other users.

The tutorials are clearly for MacStadium's hosted minis, however, they're a good fit for any Mac mini you've set up to be accessible remotely. The Apple's tiny Mac is extremely affordable, yet it's still powerful. MacStadium's tutorials will assist you in getting the most from your remote mini.
