Many Mac enthusiasts crave for a Mac OSX powered hosting solution, but there are not many good alternatives out there. I have managed to find a few Mac hosts and here is my recommendation for those who really want to go Mac through and through.

Remember that OS X is based on Unix / Linux core, so even if you choose to use a OS X powered host, you would be almost equally well off choosing a regular, off-the-mill Linux host offering the package you require.

The Best Mac Webhost: Machighway.com

Machighway.com is the winner of my Best Mac Host category. Like I said earlier, seeking a Mac hosting platform has no remarkable inherent benefit to your hosting. One distinct advantage Machighway offers its clients is a Mac-compatible site builder as a part of your hosting package.

What sets Machighway apart, however, is the fact that they use Macs themselves, and maintain their support in-house. In other words, unlike many other large hosting companies, they actually answer the phones themselves. And since they are Mac users, they know what they are talking about and can provide better support from Mac point of view than any large Linux web host.

Machighway has a good choice of hosting plans, and their pricing is very competitive, especially considering that anything Mac related often invites premium pricing. In fact, their pricing is equal to a well-priced shared Linux host. On the downside, their lower-end plans do not offer quite as many gadgets and gizmos as most other hosts, but then again, most of those are the kinds of features you never need, anyway.

Machighway.com uses cPanel – the industry standard for managing your web hosting services back-end. They also feature Fantastico, so Wordpress and other Fantastico features installation is a breeze.

If you are looking for streaming Quicktime hosting, Machighway is not the right choice as they do not offer it at all. In reality, streaming Quicktime is really only needed for live videocasts for which you need a rather solid setup in the first place.

Machighway offers a good choice of hosting plans with generous usage limits and no hidden charges or sneaky tactics with “unlimited” promises. All in all, Machighway is a great choice for Mac web hosting, or any other hosting for that matter.

Summary
