OK so i am new to the game and would like to make a server but the only way i see is to run it off your pc? If i buy a vps is it possible to install one on it? If so how i cant seem to find any guides.

First things first.
You need to learn a little about GNU/Linux, read about his history, try out a couple of distros at your home (VirtualBox or real PC).
You can start with Debian and CentOS. Both are GNU/Linux distributions .

It will work on anything that minetest builds and runs on.

The first person to join the server (which should be you) will get the operator privileges I believe. To give a player all privleges you use /grant playername all. If you want them to only do certain stuff eg. ban you do /grant playername ban.

Add "name = yourusername" to ~/.minetest/minetest.conf to set yourself as the admin.

I don't read something about recent Mac-builds. Here are two threads concerning the Mac that might help your friends:
