OpenClaw VPS Hosting India — Your Own 24/7 AI Agent from ₹880/month

OpenClaw is the open-source gateway that puts an AI agent inside the chat apps you already use: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal and more. It only works if it is always on, and it should never live on the same machine as your personal files, because the agent can run commands and holds your API keys. A VPS solves both. Deploy OpenClaw on an AMD EPYC 7C13 server in New Delhi with NVMe SSD, 1Gbps unmetered bandwidth, a static IPv4 address and full root SSH. No power cuts, no sleeping laptop, no home broadband behind CGNAT. Every server sits behind Cloudflare Magic Transit, and your agent's memory and sessions stay in our ISO 27001 certified datacenter. Provisioned in 15 minutes, from ₹880/month.

OpenClaw AI agent gateway running 24/7 on a VPS in India

An Agent Is Only Useful If It Is Always On

OpenClaw runs as a long-lived gateway process. It holds the connections to your chat apps, remembers past conversations, fires scheduled jobs and reacts to webhooks. Close the laptop lid and all of that stops. On a VPS the gateway is installed as a systemd service that starts on boot and restarts if it ever crashes, so the 7am briefing arrives at 7am and a message sent at midnight gets an answer. Home hosting in India adds its own problems: power cuts, router reboots, and broadband that sits behind carrier-grade NAT with no public address. A server in a datacenter with a static IPv4 address removes every one of them.

Keep the Agent Away From Your Personal Machine

OpenClaw is powerful because it can act: run shell commands, read and write files, drive a browser, call APIs with your keys. That is also why you do not want it on the laptop that holds your banking session, your SSH keys and your family photos. On a VPS the agent gets a machine of its own. If a prompt injection or a bad skill ever makes it do something it should not, the damage stops at a server you can rebuild in fifteen minutes. Run it as a non-root user, keep the gateway bound to localhost, reach the dashboard over an SSH tunnel, and the only open ports are the ones you chose.

Bring Your Own Model, or Run One Locally

OpenClaw works with the model provider you choose. Most people start with an API key from Anthropic or OpenAI, and for that the server only orchestrates, so a small plan is enough. If you would rather nothing left the server, install Ollama alongside it and point OpenClaw at a local model. One detail from the OpenClaw documentation that saves an evening of debugging: use Ollama's native address, http://127.0.0.1:11434, not the /v1 OpenAI-compatible URL, which breaks tool calling. Local models want memory, so plan on IN-PLUS with 32GB or more for that setup.

Why OpenClaw Users Host It Here

An agent needs to be reachable, isolated and awake. Everything else is detail.

Online Around the Clock

A systemd service on datacenter power and network. Cron jobs, heartbeats and webhooks fire on time whether or not your own devices are switched on.

Isolated From Your Life

The agent has shell access and your API keys. Give it a server of its own instead of your laptop, and a mistake stays contained to a machine you can wipe and redeploy.

Static IPv4, No CGNAT

A real public address for channel webhooks and integrations, which home broadband in India rarely gives you. 1Gbps unmetered bandwidth included.

Room for the Browser

The gateway itself is light, but headless Chromium for browser automation is not. IN-PRO with 8GB keeps browser tasks and multiple agents comfortable; 16GB and 32GB are one upgrade away.

Local Models on the Same Box

Pair OpenClaw with Ollama on a 32GB plan for a fully private agent. Calls stay on localhost, and our CPU is not oversold, so generation speed stays consistent.

534 Tbps Magic Transit

Cloudflare Magic Transit sits upstream of every server at no extra cost, so webhook endpoints you expose stay reachable under attack.

How to Install OpenClaw on a VPS in India

From order to your first message in about twenty minutes.

1. Pick a plan

OpenClaw's stated minimum is 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM, which is IN-BASIC at ₹880/month. We recommend IN-PRO (4 vCores, 8GB, ₹1,800/month) so browser automation and several agents have headroom, and IN-PLUS (32GB) if you plan to run local models with Ollama.

2. Deploy Ubuntu and add a user

Choose Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. SSH in as root, update the system, then create a normal user for the agent with adduser claw. Running OpenClaw as a non-root user limits what the agent can touch.

3. Run the installer

As that user, run curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash. OpenClaw needs Node.js 24.16 or newer, and Node 26 is recommended because the gateway starts faster and uses less memory on it.

4. Onboard and install the service

Run openclaw onboard --install-daemon. The wizard asks for your model provider and key, then installs the gateway as a systemd user service. Run loginctl enable-linger claw as root so the service keeps running after you log out.

5. Connect a channel

Telegram is the quickest: create a bot with BotFather and paste the token. WhatsApp links by scanning a QR code, the same way WhatsApp Web does. Discord and Slack use a bot token. Send your agent a message and it replies from the server.

6. Lock it down

Leave the gateway on 127.0.0.1:18789 and open the dashboard through a tunnel: ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 claw@your-server. Allow only SSH in the firewall, use key-based login, and restrict who may message the agent with OpenClaw's pairing and allowlist settings.

OpenClaw VPS Hosting India — Frequently Asked Questions

OpenClaw is an open-source, MIT-licensed gateway that connects chat apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, Microsoft Teams and Google Chat to an AI agent with tools, memory, skills and scheduled jobs. You message it like a person and it does the work. It has to run continuously to receive messages, and it can execute commands, so the two sensible requirements are always on and isolated from your personal devices. A VPS gives you both, from ₹880 a month.

The commonly cited minimum for a self-hosted gateway is 2 vCPU and 4GB RAM, with 20GB of disk as a floor and 40GB recommended for production. It needs Node.js 24.16 or newer, with Node 26 recommended; older releases such as Node 22 are not supported. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and Ubuntu LTS is the most common server choice. IN-BASIC (2 vCores, 4GB, 40GB NVMe) meets the minimum and IN-PRO (4 vCores, 8GB, 80GB NVMe) meets the production recommendation.

IN-PRO at ₹1,800/month is the one we recommend for most people. The gateway is light, but the things an agent does are not: headless Chromium for browser tasks can take a gigabyte or more on its own, and each extra agent or long-running skill adds to it. Choose IN-BASIC (₹880) for a single personal agent that only calls a cloud model, IN-LITE (16GB) for a team with several agents, and IN-PLUS (32GB, ₹7,040/month) if you want local models through Ollama on the same server.

It is safer than running it on your own computer, which is the main reason people move it. The agent can run shell commands and read files, so whatever machine it lives on is the blast radius if something goes wrong. On a VPS that is a disposable server with none of your personal data on it. Good practice: run it as a non-root user, keep the gateway bound to 127.0.0.1, never publish port 18789, use SSH keys, restrict who can message the agent, and only install skills you have read.

Through an SSH tunnel. From your own computer run ssh -N -L 18789:127.0.0.1:18789 user@your-server and then open http://127.0.0.1:18789 in your browser. The Control UI loads as if it were local while the port stays closed to the internet. A private network such as Tailscale or WireGuard works just as well. Exposing the gateway port publicly, even with a token, is not recommended.

Yes. Install Ollama on the same VPS and select it as the provider. Two things to know. First, point OpenClaw at Ollama's native address, http://127.0.0.1:11434, and not the /v1 URL, because the OpenAI-compatible route breaks tool calling. Second, an agent depends on reliable tool use, which needs a capable model: plan for a 14B to 30B class model and therefore 32GB of RAM or more. Many users keep a cloud model for hard tasks and a local one for private or routine work.

Yes. Telegram connects with a bot token from BotFather and is the fastest channel to set up. WhatsApp links to your account by scanning a QR code, like WhatsApp Web, and then stays connected from the server. Many people use a separate number for the agent. Discord, Slack, Signal, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Matrix are supported as well, and one gateway can serve several channels at once.

You can, and it is a fine way to try it. For daily use the problems show up quickly: the laptop sleeps, the power goes, the router restarts, and most home broadband in India is behind carrier-grade NAT so nothing outside can reach it. More importantly, your personal machine is where your banking sessions, passwords and documents live, which is the last place an autonomous agent with shell access should run. A ₹1,800 server removes all of that.

Two parts. The server is a fixed monthly price from ₹880, paid in rupees by UPI, card or net banking. The model is separate: if you use a cloud provider you bring your own API key and pay them for usage, and if you run a local model through Ollama there is no usage fee at all, only the larger plan. OpenClaw itself is free and open source.

Yes. The project was first released as Clawdbot, was briefly renamed Moltbot, and is now OpenClaw. Guides written for the earlier names describe the same software, though commands and package names have changed, so follow the current OpenClaw documentation when you install.
