I ordered several AlexHost Mac Mini for the Black Friday deal, and one of them has already started up with a great experience. I am waiting for the other servers to start up as well.
LET seems to have no relevant discussions yet. I think this is one of the best Black Friday deals.
Are there any special rewards available for me , thank you boss. @AlexHost

orderlink please.

(delivery of dedicated servers can take up to 24h max)

Mine was about > 2 days. But I understand that this high demand period, so take your time.

Here's mine...

I still need to experiment with it a bit.

For upload, you get

iperf3 -c speedtest2.serverius.net -p 5002 -P 10 -4
...
[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  1.08 GBytes   924 Mbits/sec                  sender
[SUM]   0.00-10.05  sec  1.07 GBytes   914 Mbits/sec                  receiver

For download, well...
Speedtest results are something, but iperf3 varies a lot

iperf3 -c speedtest2.serverius.net -p 5002 -P 10 -4 -R
...
[SUM]   0.00-10.05  sec  59.2 MBytes  49.4 Mbits/sec  334             sender
[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec  55.9 MBytes  46.9 Mbits/sec                  receiver

iperf3 -P 10 -c iperf3.moji.fr -p 5210 -R
...
[SUM]   0.00-10.05  sec   143 MBytes   119 Mbits/sec  143             sender
[SUM]   0.00-10.00  sec   136 MBytes   114 Mbits/sec                  receiver

I know it took hours and a few tries to download Macos updates.
But at this price range, I think it's acceptable

Why do people want Mac servers

The only use cases I can think of are developing Mac/iPadOS/iOS apps and testing websites in Safari. I doubt they're getting a Mac to host websites.

I don't think there are Mac VPS. You have to rent an actual computer.

Macincloud.com

They don't offer Mac VPS's, nobody does because Apple's EULA doesn't allow it.

Actually you don't always have to follow EULA. An EULA is what a company would like you to follow, but the actual law has the final say.

Yeah, Mine was activated but VNC is way too slow so I have to switch to DeskIn, super smooth.

There no way to get this promotion again for now. Only if you bought in the right time.
But keep an eye. Soon we will have some great news and maybe you can get something for ... (we can't tell more for now).

Even though I paid for the Mac Mini server successfully, I got an email today from @alexhost saying they terminated my service...

Thank you for the overwhelming response to our €13/month Mac Mini dedicated server promotion but unfortunately the demand has exceeded our stock, and the offer is now exhausted.

Not a great look.

There are many people who want cheap Mac Mini dedi.
