OpenClaw Hosting From $2.99/Month

OpenClaw is a free, open-source personal AI assistant that runs on your own server. It uses a Gateway WebSocket architecture to connect to all your messaging platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more) through a single unified interface. You connect your preferred AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini) and interact with your AI assistant from any device, any platform, 24/7.

OpenClaw hosting on OpenHosst starts at just $2.99/month for the Starter plan. This includes managed VPS hosting, Docker setup, free SSL certificate, custom domain support, automatic updates, and 24/7 human support. The Business plan is $12.50/month with enhanced resources. OpenClaw itself is free software — the only additional cost is AI API tokens from your chosen provider (typically $1-50/month depending on usage).

Yes! OpenClaw is 100% free software under the MIT license with no licensing fees. However, running OpenClaw requires a server (VPS) to keep it online 24/7, plus AI API tokens from providers like OpenAI or Anthropic. With OpenHosst, the hosting starts at $2.99/month, making it the most affordable way to run your own AI assistant.

OpenClaw requires a VPS with Docker support, WebSocket connectivity, 2GB+ RAM, SSL certificate, and domain configuration. OpenHosst handles ALL of these requirements automatically. You don't need any Docker or server administration knowledge. Just sign up, and we deploy a fully configured OpenClaw instance for you.

OpenClaw supports multiple AI providers including Anthropic Claude (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus), OpenAI GPT (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini), Google Gemini, and open-source models like Llama and Mistral. You can switch between models without redeploying, allowing you to optimize for cost or performance based on your needs.

OpenClaw supports multi-channel messaging across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, iMessage, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat. You can interact with your AI assistant from any of these platforms, and it maintains full context across all conversations. One assistant, all your channels.

Absolutely. Self-hosting OpenClaw means all your conversations, chat logs, and AI interactions stay on YOUR server. No third-party company has access to your data. This is the key advantage over cloud AI services like ChatGPT or Claude Pro where your conversations are stored on their servers. With OpenHosst, you get full data sovereignty.

Yes! Custom domain support is included free with all OpenHosst plans. We handle the DNS configuration, SSL certificate installation, and domain connection for you. You can access your OpenClaw instance through your own branded domain at no extra cost.

Contabo and Hostinger provide raw VPS servers where you need to install and configure OpenClaw yourself using Docker. OpenHosst provides fully managed OpenClaw hosting — we handle the entire setup, updates, SSL, domain, and ongoing maintenance. Our pricing starts lower at $2.99/month (vs $4.50-5.49/month), and you get 24/7 human support via WhatsApp and Discord. No DevOps skills required.

With OpenHosst, there are no hidden hosting costs — $2.99/month covers everything including SSL, domain, updates, and support. The only variable cost is AI API tokens from your chosen provider. Budget AI models like GPT-4o-mini cost as little as $1-5/month for personal use. You can monitor token usage through your AI provider's dashboard and set spending limits to avoid surprises.

Yes! That's the whole point of VPS hosting. Your OpenClaw instance runs on our servers 24/7 with 99.9% uptime, regardless of whether your personal computer is on or off. Your AI assistant can receive and respond to messages, run automations, and handle tasks around the clock.
