At a glance
OpenClaw here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- OpenClaw is the self-hosted AI agent that lives in your messaging apps: Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and more. It remembers context across days, runs tasks while you sleep, and executes real work on a real server, which is exactly why it should never run exposed on a random VPS.
- What we install
- Our OpenClaw playbook deploys the full Docker stack (Node runtime, Chromium for browser automation, Python) hardened by default: the gateway binds to localhost only, no public port is opened, and you connect over an SSH tunnel with the exact command in your handover email. You bring your own model API keys.
- What managed covers
- Server updates, daily snapshots, optional Dual Backups, monitoring, the managed firewall, and humans on call. The agent, its skills, and its API keys stay yours; we keep the server underneath it patched and private. Skill vetting is your responsibility: install only sources you trust.
- What it needs
- 4 GB RAM
Fits on SC-4GB, from $13.33/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

Three ways to run OpenClaw.
Installing OpenClaw is the easy part. The real question is who keeps it running.

Built for
What people run on OpenClaw here.
On your own server, using it more never costs more.
A personal AI agent, always on
OpenClaw runs continuously on your server, holding context and working while your laptop sleeps.
Agent workflows over your tools
Wire it to repositories, files and APIs so it executes multi-step work, not just chat.
Private by architecture
Prompts, memory and outputs stay on your VPS. The agent's brain is not a shared cloud.
Tinkering at the frontier
The fast-moving agent stack, on hardware where you can update, break and restore freely.
Stack it
OpenClaw works better with company.
Everything here can run on the same server as OpenClaw, at $0 per app. The server only needs the room.

The details
OpenClaw here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
Why does OpenClaw need hardened hosting?
Because it is an agent with real capabilities, not a chat toy. Public OpenClaw instances with open ports have been found exposed by the hundreds, and a security audit found 341 malicious skills on ClawHub. Our deployment binds OpenClaw to localhost, opens no public port, and reaches you only through an SSH tunnel.
How much RAM does OpenClaw need?
4 GB runs the core agent comfortably; browser automation is the hungry part and wants 8 GB for heavy use. The meter in our cart sizes the server from your whole stack, and upgrades are in place with no migration.
Which messaging platforms does it support?
Telegram is the fastest start; WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Signal, Microsoft Teams, and Mattermost are all supported channels. You register the bot on your side and drop the token into the config; the handover email covers where.
Do I need my own AI model API key?
Yes. OpenClaw talks to the model provider you choose (Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local Ollama). API usage bills with that provider, not with us. Pair it with Ollama on the same server if you want fully local inference with zero per-token cost.
FAQ
OpenClaw hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
Is OpenClaw safe to self-host?
Safe is a configuration, not a property. Exposed instances are the horror stories; ours ships private by default with no public port and SSH-tunnel access only. Vet every skill you install: a public audit found hundreds of malicious ones in the wild.
Can OpenClaw run 24/7 tasks?
That is the point of hosting it here. Reminders, monitoring, and scheduled work keep running on the server while your laptop sleeps. If the agent is offline, it is silent, so always-on hosting is the foundation.
What does OpenClaw hosting cost?
The app is $0 like every app in our catalog; you pay for the server it runs on, from $13.33/mo for a 4 GB server on annual billing, fully managed, with Dual Backups as an optional addon. Model API usage bills with your provider.
Which model providers can it use?
Bring your API keys for the major providers, or point it at local models via an Ollama on the same or another server. The stack is provider-agnostic by configuration.
Is it safe to let an agent run with server access?
It runs contained on your own VPS, which is precisely the safe place for agent experiments: scoped credentials, daily snapshots for undo, and no shared tenancy to worry about.
Is this OpenClaw on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. OpenClaw runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing OpenClaw?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
OpenClaw runs. You sleep.
