Fair questions

What is OpenClaw?

OpenClaw is an open-source gateway that connects messaging apps (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, Matrix, Teams) to an LLM-powered agent runtime. The agent can book appointments, manage your inbox, trigger deployments, edit files, and more, all by conversation in apps you already use.

Why run OpenClaw on a VPS instead of my laptop?

Your laptop sleeps and changes networks. A VPS stays online 24/7 with a stable IP, so your agent is always reachable and any scheduled tasks (digest emails, daily summaries) actually run.

How much VPS do I need?

2 GB RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended for real day-to-day use. If you also want to run a local LLM (Ollama) on the same box, jump to 16 GB+ or use a separate beefier server for that.

Can I use my own LLM API keys?

Yes. OpenClaw works with Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Groq, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including self-hosted Ollama. You set the keys in the admin panel.

Does Servury log what my OpenClaw agent does?

No. Servury runs no application-level logging on customer servers. We do not have access to anything inside your VM. With anonymous registration and crypto payment, even the billing record contains no personal info.

Will OpenClaw stay running after I close my SSH session?

Yes if you use Docker with --restart unless-stopped (shown in the quick start above), or run it under systemd. The agent keeps running across reboots and SSH disconnects.

Can I pay with crypto?

Yes. XMR, BTC, LTC, ETH, USDT, USDC and more. No KYC, no email confirmation, no name on file.

Where are servers located?

Montreal (owned hardware), New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Netherlands, and Singapore. Pick whichever is closest to where your agent will be reachable from for lower latency.
