I've been working with Mac hosting for about thirteen years. I tell people about using a Mac mini as a server and they just love the idea of it. There are a lot of great hosting options out there these days, but it's nice to work with a server where the OS is familiar and you know you control the whole stack of hardware and software. Our base Mac mini subscription starts at just $79/mo (that includes the server) so it's much easier to get started.

AirServer® is the most advanced screen mirroring receiver for Mac. AirServer allows you to receive AirPlay and Google Cast streams, similar to an Apple TV or a Chromecast device, so you can stream content, cast or mirror your display from an iOS device, macOS, Windows, Android, Chromebook or any other AirPlay and Google Cast compatible device.

Five years ago today, I wrote a post about ways you might use a Mac server. I've decided to update that list and add some new ones that have come along in the last little while. It's a mix of Mac apps, open source projects, and iOS tools. Now when you say to yourself 'I'd love to try a Mac server but I just don't know what I'd do with it' then you can take a look at this list. (Have more suggestions? Add them here.)

Learn about current and future support

Apple continues to develop and support macOS Server, which includes Open Directory, Profile Manager, and Xsan management. The most popular server features—Caching Server, File Sharing Server, and Time Machine Server are bundled with every installation of macOS High Sierra and later, so that even more customers have access to these essential services at no extra cost.

Starting with macOS Server 5.7.1, Apple no longer bundles open source services such as Calendar Server, Contacts Server, the Mail Server, DNS, DHCP, VPN Server, and Websites with macOS Server. Customers can get these same services directly from open-source providers. This way, macOS Server customers can install the most secure and up-to-date services as soon as they're available.

Apple has published documentation to help with this transition.

Services included in macOS Server 5.7.1 and later

The following services are included and fully supported in macOS Server 5.7.1 and later:

• Profile Manager
• Open Directory
• Xsan

Services migrated from macOS Server to macOS High Sierra and later

These services are now available in macOS High Sierra and later, and can be found in System Preferences > Sharing:

• File Server
• Caching Server
• Time Machine Server
