The AI that actually does things. OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your any computer, allowing it to perform tasks like managing emails, scheduling, and automating workflows through messaging apps. It integrates with various AI models and can remember context across conversations, making it a powerful personal assistant.
Unlike ChatGPT, OpenClaw lives on your VPS, giving it the “hands” to manage files, browse the web, and execute terminal commands.
Stop chatting with bots that are all talk and start hosting agents that gets things done. Deploy OpenClaw on UpCloud’s high-performance infrastructure and experience the power of a 24/7 autonomous assistant with 100% data privacy.
Run OpenClaw on our home-grown, 10x faster than standard SSDs, MaxIOPS bundled with the latest and greatest from AMD EPYC. Server performance is critical for OpenClaw’s frequent file reads and local memory processing.
Perfect for OpenClaw users who prioritize privacy over US-based SaaS AI. Escape the US DATA Act by hosting your data in a European cloud which adheres to the highest privacy standards.
UpCloud’s data centers across Europe from Helsinki and Frankfurt to Amsterdam and London help you minimize latency for WhatsApp/Telegram webhooks.
UpCloud’s Starter plans are the most cost-effective way for building your AI processes and easily upgradable to Premium plan instances which include our high-performance MaxIOPS storage as standard. Give your AI agents the best infrastructure for high-performance processing and fast file-shuffling, vital for OpenClaw operations.

The 4 CPU cores ensure that even when the agent is browsing complex JavaScript-heavy websites, the system remains responsive.
They are all the same project. OpenClaw is the official, stable name for the open-source AI agent formerly known as Moltbot and Clawdbot. If you are migrating from an older version, your existing configuration files and “skills” are generally compatible, but we recommend a fresh Docker install on an UpCloud VPS for the latest security patches and performance improvements.
Not at all. OpenClaw acts as an “orchestrator” or the “brain” of your assistant. While it requires a high-performance CPU to process logic and manage browser automation, it typically connects to external LLMs (like Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or a remote Ollama instance) via API. For a smooth experience with browser control and file management, we recommend at least 2 vCPUs and 4 GB of RAM.
Self-hosting is the most secure way to run OpenClaw. Unlike cloud-based AI services, your message history, file workspace, and API keys stay on your virtual server. By using an UpCloud VPS, you benefit from enterprise-grade firewalls and private networking. For maximum security, we recommend running OpenClaw inside a Docker container to isolate the AI from your host system’s root files.
Yes. Unlike standard chatbots, OpenClaw uses AgentSkills to interact with the real world. Once deployed on your VPS, you can pair it with Telegram or WhatsApp. It can then use its built-in “Browser Skill” to navigate websites, its “Shell Skill” to run terminal commands, and its “File Skill” to organize your server’s documents—all via natural language commands from your phone
Updating is seamless if you use our recommended Docker setup. You simply pull the latest image and restart your container:
docker compose pull && docker compose up -dThis ensures you always have the latest “skills” and security definitions without losing your agent’s persistent memory or conversation history.
Don’t settle for “walled garden” AIs that scrape or leak your data. Join the thousands of developers and power users moving their autonomous agents to UpCloud. Experience the perfect synergy of OpenClaw’s agency and UpCloud’s world-class infrastructure.
