Unlike cloud-locked SaaS tools, self-hosting OpenClaw means&nbsp;<strong>your data stays on your machine<\/strong>, your costs stay predictable, and you stay in full control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The catch? You need a reliable server.

Every plan ships with dedicated CPU, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD storage, and unmetered bandwidth \u2014 so your AI agent&#8217;s API calls and integrations never get throttled. Bluehost also offers full root access, containerized environment support via Portainer, role-based access control (RBAC), and 24\/7 infrastructure support.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/en-ca\/vps-hosting\/openclaw\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick look at the available plans:<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/en-ca\/vps-hosting\/openclaw\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Plan<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">vCPU<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">RAM<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Storage<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Best For<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>NVMe 2<\/td><td>1 Core<\/td><td>2 GB DDR5<\/td><td>50 GB NVMe<\/td><td>Getting started<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>NVMe 4 \u2b50 Recommended<\/strong><\/td><td>2 Cores<\/td><td>4 GB DDR5<\/td><td>100 GB NVMe<\/td><td>Most users<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NVMe 8<\/td><td>4 Cores<\/td><td>8 GB DDR5<\/td><td>200 GB NVMe<\/td><td>Heavy workflows<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NVMe 16<\/td><td>8 Cores<\/td><td>16 GB DDR5<\/td><td>450 GB NVMe<\/td><td>Power users<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For most OpenClaw users, the&nbsp;<strong>NVMe 4<\/strong>&nbsp;plan hits the sweet spot: enough RAM for the AI runtime, Telegram integration, and room to grow.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/en-ca\/vps-hosting\/openclaw\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"before-you-start-what-youll-need\">Before You Start: What You&#8217;ll Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get these ready before touching the terminal:<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssdnodes.com\/blog\/how-to-install-openclaw-on-a-vps\/\"><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>Bluehost VPS plan<\/strong>\u00a0(NVMe 4 or higher recommended)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SSH access<\/strong>\u00a0to your server (root or sudo)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An\u00a0<strong>Anthropic API key<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/console.anthropic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">console.anthropic.com<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 this is the &#8220;brain&#8221; of your AI agent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\u00a0<strong>Telegram account<\/strong>\u00a0to create a bot (completely free)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>About\u00a0<strong>30 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0of your time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u26a0\ufe0f&nbsp;<strong>Security Warning:<\/strong>&nbsp;OpenClaw has full system access on whatever machine it runs on.
