Illustrative example

Less routine work

An assistant you can reach by message

OpenClaw connects an AI assistant to the tools and messaging apps you choose. Give it a task, such as gathering and summarising information on a topic. The assistant can use the tools you have authorised.

On your VPS, OpenClaw runs independently of your workstation. You choose the AI model and decide which data and services your assistant can access.

FAQ

Questions about OpenClaw on VPS

Which VPS suits OpenClaw?
VPS Solo is a starting point for one assistant with smaller tasks. VPS Plus provides more headroom for browser tasks, multiple channels and parallel processes. Requirements depend on enabled tools. Our recommendation assumes an external AI model.
Is the application preinstalled?
No. You receive a VPS and install the application yourself using the official instructions. This requires Linux and server administration knowledge. Our support helps with VPS questions. Setting up and maintaining your AI assistant is not included in the plan.
What additional costs should I expect?
You need suitable access to a supported AI provider for the model. Depending on the provider, usage or subscription charges apply. Additional tools may also have fees. These services are billed directly by their respective providers.
Does all data stay in Germany?
Your VPS is located in Germany. If you connect an external AI provider or other services, content may be processed there. The data transmitted and its processing location depend on your settings and chosen providers.
Can I run the AI model directly on the VPS?
Our plan recommendation is for the assistant using an external AI model. Running a model locally requires a separate assessment of memory and, where needed, GPU resources. The plans shown do not include a GPU.
How do I secure my assistant?
Only grant access needed for its tasks. Protect administration interfaces, keep the application updated and use isolated execution environments where possible. Review results and require confirmation for important actions.
Are backups included?
Snapshots are included. They help capture the server state before a change, but do not replace a separate backup. Back up configuration, saved workflows and other important data to an independent destination.
