OpenClaw hosting
OpenClaw hosting that runs 24/7 and bills by the hour.
Your agent only answers while its gateway is running. Your laptop sleeps; a server doesn’t. Install OpenClaw on a Lite in one click, keep its control panel private the way OpenClaw’s own docs advise, and pay by the hour in crypto. No intro price, no renewal jump.
Launch offer: we double your first deposit. Deposit $100, spend $200. Your server is usually ready within 15 minutes; delete it any time.
Plans and prices
Lite 2 runs OpenClaw. Lite 6 gives it room.
All prices in USD, without VAT. Customers in the EU pay their country’s VAT on top. No setup fees, no contracts.
OpenClaw’s docs ask for 1 GB of RAM at minimum and 2 GB or more recommended, and its FAQ calls 4 GB plenty. On Lite 2, add swap as the docs advise. Billed per started hour, capped monthly.

What you are hosting
A small, always-on gateway. The thinking happens elsewhere.
OpenClaw is an open-source, MIT-licensed gateway that connects your chat apps to AI agents. One Gateway process runs on your server; the AI model itself runs at the provider you pick, from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google to dozens of others.
That’s why it needs so little: no GPU, 2 GB of RAM. What it does need is to stay on, keep your keys safe, and live somewhere you trust.
Be clear about privacy: your server holds the gateway, its settings, logs and keys in the country you choose. The messages you send to a hosted model still go to that model’s provider, under their terms.
Security
Set it up the safe way, from the docs.
- Gateway on localhostOpenClaw’s VPS guide: keep the Gateway on loopback and reach it through an SSH tunnel or Tailscale Serve. Never expose the control panel raw.
- Auth if you open itBinding to your LAN or tailnet needs a gateway token or password, per the docs. Run
openclaw security auditafter setup. - Untrusted inputTreat every inbound message as untrusted. The docs warn that small local models are more open to prompt injection; use large models for bots with tool access.
- Keys with limitsGive the agent its own API keys with spending caps, so a loop overnight costs cents, not hundreds.
- Hard isolationOne Gateway can run several agents. For agents that must never see each other, the docs suggest separate servers. Two Lite 2s cost $8 a month.

The rules
What you pay for, and what you don’t.
Every rule is on this page before you pay.
The server: billed per started hour at 0.15% of the monthly price. A month never costs more than the monthly price.
OpenClaw itself: free and open source (MIT).
The model: paid to your model provider directly, at their prices. Your API keys live on your server, not in our billing.

OpenClaw hosting FAQ
Questions before you buy.
Do I need a GPU to host OpenClaw?
No. OpenClaw calls hosted models over the internet, so a CPU server with 2 GB of RAM is what its docs recommend.
Which plan should I choose?
Lite 2 for one assistant (add swap). Lite 6 if you run several agents or other apps beside it.
Can I run a local model instead of an API?
You can, but OpenClaw’s smallest local recipe has an 8 GiB memory floor, so plan on Lite 16, and expect it to be slower than a hosted model.
How do I open the control panel?
Through an SSH tunnel from your computer, as OpenClaw’s VPS guide advises. The panel stays on localhost and never faces the internet.
Is my data private?
Your server, settings and keys stay in the country you pick. Prompts sent to a hosted model go to that provider. For fully local AI, see Ollama on a Lite.
Can I pay with crypto?
Yes: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, SOL, BNB, XRP or XMR. Your server draws from the balance by the hour. How crypto payments work.
The rest of the keep
Same account, same balance, six more ways to build.
Your agent, always on.
From $4 a month, by the hour.
Top up in crypto (deposit $100, spend $200 on your first one), pick a country. Your server is usually ready within 15 minutes. No card, no ID, no contract.
