Do on-demand Mac OS X cloud services exist, comparable to Amazon’s EC2 on-demand instances? [closed]

List last updated on December 1, 2020:

As of November 30, 2020, AWS now has EC2 Mac instances:

  • https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/

We previously used and had good experiences with:

  • https://MacStadium.com/

Here are some other sites that I am aware of:

  • https://flow.swiss/
  • https://hostmyapple.com/ (We used them a long time ago, before MacStadium)
  • https://macincloud.com/
  • https://macminivault.com/
  • https://macweb.com/
  • https://virtualmacosx.com/
  • https://xcloud.me/
  • https://zeromac.com/
  • http://www.cloud4mac.com/ 404 as of July, 2014
  • https://www.macminicloud.net/ (Redirects to macweb.com)
  • https://xcloud.me/ (Redirects to flow.swiss)

When we were with MacStadium, we loved them. We had great connectivity/uptime. When I’ve needed hands-on support to plug in a Time Machine backup, they’ve been great. They performed a seamless upgrade to better hardware for us over one weekend (when we could afford a bit of downtime), and that went off without a hitch. Highly recommended. (Not affiliated – just happy).

In April of 2020, we stopped using MacStadium, simply because we no longer needed a Mac server. If I need another Mac host, I would be happy to go back to them.
