Every Mac is a dedicated physical machine, billed in USD. Your Mac mini's CPU, memory, and storage aren't shared with other customers, and it's not a virtual machine.
Plans start at $21/day. Choose a shorter term for a quick regression test, or compare weekly, monthly, and quarterly options for ongoing builds. Pick a configuration for your workload, then choose how long to keep it. Switch the rental term below to compare prices across all 3 configurations.
Showing daily prices. Each card also lists prices for all rental terms.
All 3 configurations are available in all 5 locations. They differ in chip, memory, and built-in SSD storage. Prices below cover the base configuration; storage upgrades and connection options are listed separately.
Light builds, single-project CI, and short-term validation.
$21/day
A good place to start when you're getting a build pipeline up and running. Your project files, toolchains, and caches all share the 256GB SSD, so check build artifact usage regularly and avoid keeping temporary caches on the machine longer than needed.
Xcode development, multiple simulators, and UI testing.
$41.4/day
More headroom for your editor, test processes, and simulators. The 512GB SSD lets you keep more project assets on hand. The number of simulators you can run at once depends on project size, simulator versions, and what you're testing.
MLX experiments, model inference, and large project builds.
$59.5/day
64GB of unified memory and a 2TB SSD leave room for model files, dependencies, and full build artifacts. Check the actual memory requirements of your model before choosing; parameter count alone won't tell you whether it will run.
All listed configurations are available to order. Check the control panel for current availability. Once payment and setup are complete, we'll provide your connection details—typically in about 4 minutes. You can check progress in the control panel.
First, work out whether your task is limited by memory, storage, or build performance. If you need more storage, consider an upgrade. If memory is consistently under pressure, move to a more suitable configuration rather than adding storage alone.
| Workload | Recommended | Why it fits and when to upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Light builds and single-project CI | Hold 16 | 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD are a good starting point for a single project. Keep caches and build artifacts in check; if memory pressure stays high, consider a higher configuration. |
| Everyday Xcode development, multiple simulators, and UI testing | Hold 24 | 24GB of memory and a 512GB SSD provide room for simulators, test assets, and dependencies. As concurrency grows, check swap usage and free disk space before adjusting. |
| Large model inference, MLX experiments, and full builds of large projects | Hold Pro 64 | M4 Pro, 64GB of unified memory, and a 2TB SSD suit larger working sets. Validate with your actual model or project; a higher configuration does not guarantee a particular performance level. |
| Configuration / term | Hold 16 | Hold 24 | Hold Pro 64 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chip | M4 | M4 | M4 Pro |
| Memory | 16GB | 24GB | 64GB |
| SSD | 256GB | 512GB | 2TB |
| Daily | $21 | $41.4 | $59.5 |
| Weekly | $56.8 | $111.8 | $160.7 |
| Monthly | $105.2 | $207.1 | $297.5 |
| Quarterly | $286.1 | $563.3 | $809.2 |
Before you start, note your full-build time, test concurrency, memory pressure, and available storage. Compare using the same project and toolchain to make an informed choice. You get a dedicated physical machine—not a guaranteed completion time for any particular process.
Add-ons don't change the base configuration's chip or memory. Prices below are in USD and are charged in addition to the base rental. Check the final configuration, quantity, and total for your order before paying.
| Add-on | Daily | Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +1TB SSD | $2.2 | $5.9 | $10.9 | $29.6 |
| +2TB SSD | $4.4 | $11.8 | $21.8 | $59.2 |
| Thunderbolt 5 connection (per machine) | $1.5 | $4.1 | $7.6 | $20.7 |
Check simulator images, DerivedData, container images, and old archives first. If you still need to keep assets, models, or multiple toolchain versions long-term, consider a +1TB SSD or +2TB SSD.
Thunderbolt 5 connections are charged per machine. Whether an app can coordinate across multiple machines and how data is distributed depends on the software and workload. A connected link doesn't mean every program can use pooled resources directly.
To change add-ons on an existing machine, open a support ticket in the control panel with your machine ID, data retention needs, and target rental term. We'll confirm the approach, whether migration is involved, and how billing will be handled before making changes.
All 3 configurations are available in Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and the eastern United States. For remote access, choose the location that best fits your network route. For builds, also consider repository access and artifact transfers.
| Configuration | Singapore | Japan (Tokyo) | South Korea (Seoul) | Hong Kong | US East |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hold 16 | Available | Available | Available | Available | Available |
| Hold 24 | Available | Available | Available | Available | Available |
| Hold Pro 64 | Available | Available | Available | Available | Available |
The table shows available configurations, not live allocation status. Check the control panel for current availability. Nodes run year-round, 365 days a year. Moving between locations can affect connection details and data location, so back up your data before confirming a migration.
All prices are billed in US dollars (USD). Longer terms cost less per day, but require payment for the full term. If you only need a short validation run, there's no need to commit for longer just to get a lower daily rate.
USDT-TRC20, or Visa / Mastercard / Amex (via Stripe). Available payment gateways depend on the response from the payment service; use the options shown at checkout.
For USDT-TRC20, check the network, recipient details, and amount due before sending. For card payments, follow the verification steps shown by the gateway. A payment screenshot doesn't replace the payment confirmation in your order.
Configure a Mac and check the priceWatch for expiry reminders in the control panel and your account email. Before your service expires, check the renewal invoice, rental term, and machine ID. Reminders can help you plan, but you should still verify the expiry date yourself.
An expiry reminder doesn't mean renewal has completed automatically. Check the payment status and new expiry date in the control panel to confirm. If you don't plan to renew, export your code, certificates, and any files you want to keep first.
Sign in to view billingUse the answers below to decide whether to place an order. For changes to an existing order, include your order number and machine ID in a control-panel support ticket. Don't delete data or place a duplicate order before confirming the details.
To move from Hold 16 to Hold 24 or Hold Pro 64, open a support ticket with your current and target configurations, remaining rental term, and data migration needs. Changing the physical machine's configuration may involve moving to a different machine at the location; don't assume the original machine can be upgraded seamlessly. We'll confirm the migration plan, cost, and effective date before proceeding.
The shortest billing term on this page is one day; hourly pricing isn't available. For a daily rental, check the order's start and end times and total due at checkout. Ending your task early doesn't automatically refund the remaining time. For a one-off regression test, start with a day and decide on a longer term once the workload is stable.
First check whether you still need any projects, models, or caches stored on the extra space, then request a change through a support ticket. Whether it can be removed during the current term, when the change takes effect, and how charges are handled depend on your order. We don't promise automatic prorated refunds. Back up your data and check storage usage before making changes.
Check your invoices and payment history in the control panel first. For a document to support expense reimbursement or procurement review, send a support ticket or email support@vpshold.com with your order number, the name to appear on the document, and your requirements. We'll confirm which document formats and fields are available and how they can be issued; we can't promise a tax invoice format for a particular jurisdiction in advance.
Daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly rentals are priced separately; the longer-term prices aren't calculated by adding up the daily rate. For project budgeting, use the listed price for the term you need. For renewals or changes across terms, refer to the amount confirmed in the control panel. Switching the displayed term only changes the prices shown—it doesn't create an order or charge you.
After payment is confirmed, your physical machine is assigned and initialized. Setup usually takes about 4 minutes. Sign in to the control panel to find your connection details for remote desktop and SSH. Change the initial password before connecting for the first time, then review your access permissions. See the connection guide on the support page for instructions.
Check the configuration, location, rental term, and add-ons before paying. If you need to confirm a setup for your team, tell support what you'll be using it for and how many machines you expect to need.
