Best for: users comfortable with command-line deployment who want a globally distributed, low-cost serverless option.

Best for: beginners looking for an affordable, guided setup experience with excellent documentation.
SimpleClaw.com
The fastest way to get OpenClaw running — literally under 1 minute from signup to active bot. No technical setup, SSH, or configuration required. Pick your AI model, connect Telegram/WhatsApp, and you're live. Created as a weekend project by Savio Martin that earned $4,475 in 14 hours.

Contabo
Ultra-budget VPS provider with free one-click OpenClaw add-on and unlimited traffic. ISO 27001 certified data centers across 9 regions (US, EU, Asia, Australia). Known in the community as the most affordable option with generous specs. Includes DDoS protection and solid infrastructure. Best for: price-conscious users who want reliable hosting with no traffic limits and don't mind ticket-based support.
Hetzner
German VPS provider legendary in the developer community for unbeatable value. The CX21 (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM) for €5-7/mo is the most recommended budget option for OpenClaw. No official template means manual setup, but rock-solid reliability, ISO 27001 certification, and honest pricing make it worth it. Locations in Germany, Finland, and US. Best for: technically capable users who want maximum value and don't mind manual Docker setup.
MyClaw.ai
The first fully managed OpenClaw hosting service built by Jason (Flot.ai). Zero configuration, automatic updates, and daily backups included. You get a dedicated isolated Linux VM with full root access but none of the maintenance headaches. Currently waitlist-only with early bird pricing locked at $9/mo. Best for: non-technical users who want a hands-off, production-ready OpenClaw experience and are willing to wait for access.
DigitalOcean
Premium VPS provider with the most polished OpenClaw 1-Click Deploy image. Security-hardened setup includes Caddy reverse proxy, Docker isolation, and non-root user configuration. Published detailed technical guides on security best practices. 15+ global regions with excellent uptime and support. More expensive than budget options but you're paying for reliability and peace of mind. Best for: users who prioritize security, reliability, and professional support over lowest price.
Oracle Cloud
The holy grail of free hosting: Oracle Cloud's Always Free Tier gives you a generous 4 vCPU ARM server with 24GB RAM forever. No credit card expiry, genuinely free. The catch? ARM architecture (not x86), but OpenClaw runs fine with Docker. Manual setup required and Oracle's approval process can be finicky. Best for: patient tinkerers who want powerful free hosting and don't mind ARM architecture or occasional account approval headaches.
OpenClawVPS.com
Managed OpenClaw hosting with done-for-you setup service, skills directory, playbooks, and cost calculator. Created by Jason Cochran. Currently under maintenance as of Feb 6, 2026, so availability uncertain. Aimed at users who want a curated experience with additional tooling beyond basic hosting. Best for: users interested in managed services with community-built playbooks (when/if service resumes).
Render
Modern PaaS platform with Docker deployment, automatic SSL, and GitHub auto-deploy integration. Similar to Railway but with a more generous free tier.
