About This Site



Macminicolo.net is the leader in colocating Mac minis to be used as servers. We've put together this site for those considering a Mac mini as their own dedicated server. Please let us know how we can help.

We anticipate an increased demand of Mac mini servers as the iPad is released. The high resolution screen and fast internal chips will make a great too to work with a remote server.

There are great tools like Jaadu VNC that will let you control the desktop of the Mac mini. So, it’s like a full system right there on the iPad.

We often have people ask whether they can use a Mac mini, and also run Parallels so they can run a Windows Server. So far, doing this has been no problem for the Mac minis. You can run a version of Windows Server and use those services.

From our experience, the 4GB is more than enough for this. But, if you really want to make sure both OS’s have plenty of RAM, then the 8GB has worked real well.
