CONFIGURATION & BILLING

Choose a plan and term for your workload

Both plans provide a complete dedicated Mac mini physical node, with CPU, memory, and local storage reserved for you. Use daily or weekly terms for short-term compatibility testing; monthly or quarterly terms are usually better for ongoing development, persistent runners, and retained test environments.

Monthly $298.3 /month
Quarterly $811.4 /quarter
Choose Oak Forge
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS

Add storage or connected devices to your order

Add-ons follow the billing term of the selected host. Before placing your order, check capacity against repository size, dependency caches, build artifacts, and how long you need to retain experimental data.

Add-on Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly
+1TB SSD $2.8/day $7.6/week $14.1/month $38.4/quarter
+2TB SSD $5.6/day $15.2/week $28.2/month $76.8/quarter
Thunderbolt 5 link (per device) $1.7/day $4.5/week $8.4/month $22.8/quarter
All orders are billed in USD. Supported payment methods are USDT-TRC20 and Visa / Mastercard / Amex through Stripe. The payment gateway available to you is determined by the result returned in the console.

NETWORK FACTS

Network facts for the Hong Kong node from South China & Southeast Asia

When connecting from South China & Southeast Asia, the average reference latency is 20~40ms. This figure is intended for an initial assessment of interactive distance and does not mean every carrier, time of day, or local network will produce the same result. Your experience also depends on your egress connection, inter-network routing, Wi-Fi quality, VNC display settings, and task data volume.

Evaluate interactive use and background workloads separately when choosing a node. For frequent graphical debugging, prioritize a shorter, more stable round-trip path. For Git pulls, remote commands, and automated builds, also consider the locations of your code source, dependency sources, and artifact storage. Build time is driven mainly by project size, concurrency, cache hits, and machine configuration—not network latency alone.

  • Before ordering, run route and latency tests from your actual work network at multiple times, including your normal working hours.
  • For SSH tasks, enable connection multiplexing and reduce repeated handshakes. Adjust VNC resolution and display quality to match your local bandwidth.
  • Keep large dependencies, caches, and build artifacts on the node whenever possible; sync only the code and final outputs you need.
  • Use fixed labels to bind CI runners to target jobs and avoid mixing environments with different chips, memory capacities, or toolchains.
ORDER TO READY

Four steps from order to ready

Decide on your use case, configuration, and term first, then retrieve your connection details. The times below help you plan the sequence; payment confirmation, current device availability, and project dependency volume can affect the overall timeline.

  1. 01

    Choose a host, term, and add-ons

    Estimated time: 3–5 minutes

    Choose Oak Core or Oak Forge based on peak task memory, concurrency, and local data volume. Start with a daily or weekly term for one-off validation; choose monthly or quarterly when you need to retain a runner, dependency caches, or an experimental environment. Check storage expansions and Thunderbolt 5 links individually before confirming the order.

  2. 02

    Confirm your order and pay in USD

    Use the gateway's real-time status

    Check the plan name, chip, memory, storage, billing term, and add-ons. Then choose USDT-TRC20, or pay with Visa / Mastercard / Amex through Stripe. Do not close a payment page while its result is pending, and do not submit another transaction for the same order.

  3. 03

    Retrieve connection details and complete the initial check

    Estimated time: 5–10 minutes

    Once the console shows the device as available, retrieve the host status, address, and connection details. After entering the system for the first time through SSH or VNC, verify the hostname, macOS version, chip architecture, memory, disk capacity, and time zone in sequence, then change the initial credentials immediately.

  4. 04

    Restore your toolchain and run a validation task

    Estimated time: 10–30 minutes

    Install or restore Homebrew, Git, language runtimes, and the Xcode toolchain, recording their versions and paths. Then pull a reproducible test project and verify dependency resolution, build output, log retention, and remote reconnection. When integrating with CI, register a self-hosted runner, assign dedicated labels, and trigger a validation job.

REGION FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Hong Kong node

For region selection, latency assessment, and plan changes, start with the three points that matter most to your ordering decision.

Which locations and workflows is the Hong Kong node suited for?

This node is primarily intended for remote development, automated builds, and experimental workloads in South China & Southeast Asia. If you frequently use the Xcode graphical interface, measure the round-trip path from your actual work network first. If you mainly run self-hosted runners, scripts, or overnight builds, also compare the locations of your code source, dependency sources, and artifact storage.

Why might measured latency to Hong Kong differ?

20~40ms is an average reference for South China & Southeast Asia, not a guaranteed result. Your carrier, inter-network routing, local Wi-Fi, connection time, and VNC display settings can all affect the interactive experience. Test repeatedly on the network and at the times you plan to use, and record network round-trip time separately from machine build time.

How can I tell whether Oak Core is enough after ordering in Hong Kong?

Start by monitoring peak memory, concurrent build count, disk usage, and cache growth on real workloads. Single-project debugging, standard command-line tasks, and light pipelines can start on Oak Core. If workloads stay near 16GB of memory, require multiple concurrent jobs, retain extensive dependencies, or run larger models, compare Oak Forge directly with its 64GB memory and 2TB SSD. Configuration and availability are shown in the console.
