Frequently asked questions about OpenClaw Hosting
Questions about our OpenClaw VPS Hosting? Our FAQs provide answers to the most common queries. You can also contact our expert support team any time.
What is OpenClaw VPS hosting?
OpenClaw VPS hosting means running OpenClaw (formerly known as MoltBot or ClawdBot) on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) instead of your own laptop or desktop. You get dedicated server resources, full control (root access), and an always-on environment for your self-hosted AI assistant. This is ideal if you want your OpenClaw automation and AI agents running 24/7 without relying on your personal device.
Is OpenClaw the same as MoltBot or ClawdBot?
Yes. OpenClaw is the evolved version and successor to the projects previously known as MoltBot and ClawdBot. If you've been following older tutorials for those tools, the setup process on a Fasthosts VPS remains very similar, but with the added features and stability of the new OpenClaw release.
Why should I run OpenClaw on a VPS instead of my computer?
Because your computer isn't designed to be an always-on server. A VPS stays online, keeps your OpenClaw agent available in the background, and gives you a cleaner separation between “workstation stuff” and “automation server stuff”. It's also easier to scale up resources if your usage grows.
Do I need to be technical to self-host OpenClaw?
You don't need to be technically-minded, but you'll be more comfortable if you can:
- SSH into a server
- Install dependencies (or use Docker)
- Manage updates and basic security (firewall, passwords/keys)
What VPS specs do I need for OpenClaw (CPU/RAM/storage)?
For most OpenClaw hosting setups (where models are called via APIs rather than running locally), you typically want:
- 2 vCPU
- 4GB RAM
- NVMe storage (for snappy performance)
- Enough disk for logs, configs, and container volumes
You can run smaller for testing, but for reliable, 24/7 automation, 4GB RAM is a sensible baseline.
Do I need a GPU for OpenClaw on a VPS hosting?
Usually, no. If your OpenClaw setup uses cloud model APIs, the heavy lifting happens elsewhere and your VPS mainly runs the agent, tools, and integrations. You'd only look at GPU resources if you're planning to run local models on the server (different cost/complexity profile).
What's the easiest way to install OpenClaw on a VPS?
For most people, the smoothest route is Docker/Docker Compose:
- It keeps OpenClaw isolated from the host
- Upgrades and rollbacks are simpler
- You can control resources and persistence more cleanly
Is it safe to expose OpenClaw to the public internet?
In general, don't expose the OpenClaw gateway openly. Treat it like an admin panel. Best practice is to keep it private (loopback) and use secure access methods, like a private network tunnel or SSH port forwarding. If you must allow access, lock it down tightly with firewall rules and strong authentication.
Can I run multiple AI agents and automations on one OpenClaw VPS?
Yes. A VPS is a good fit for running multiple AI agents, scheduled jobs, and automation workflows, especially if you're integrating with messaging apps, webhooks, browser automation, or external services.
If your workloads grow (more concurrent agents, heavier tool use), you can scale up CPU/RAM so things keep running smoothly.
Will a UK VPS help with latency and reliability for OpenClaw?
If you’re in the UK (or serving UK users), hosting your OpenClaw instance closer to you generally improves responsiveness and makes connectivity more predictable. It also helps if you have data handling requirements that favour UK-based hosting.
