Can you run VPS on Mac?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:58 pm

It is possible to run a virtual private server (VPS) on a Mac, but there are some caveats. First, you will need to have a compatible virtualization software package such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop for Mac. Second, you will need to create a new virtual server using the VPS builder on the Mac. Third, you will need to create a new network connection and configure your Mac to use the new virtual network.

PRO TIP: There is no single answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors including the type of VPS you are using and your Mac’s specifications. However, in general, it is not recommended to run a VPS on a Mac due to potential compatibility issues.

Fourth, you will need to install the operating system on the new virtual server. Finally, you will need to configure your Mac to use the new virtual network.
