Why Self-Host OpenClaw on OMC Cloud

OpenClaw is the most popular open-source AI agent framework, with 247K GitHub stars and 15,000+ community plugins via ClawHub. It turns any LLM into an autonomous assistant accessible through your favorite messaging app – Signal, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, or Slack.

Self-hosting OpenClaw on OMC Cloud gives you full control: choose your LLM provider (Claude, GPT-4, DeepSeek, or self-hosted), install any ClawHub plugin, customize system prompts, and keep your conversations private. A $4/mo VPS is all you need for a single agent – scale to multi-agent systems on larger instances.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install OpenClaw on OMC Cloud?+

Log in to console.omc.cloud, click Create New App, choose a data center, select the OpenClaw image and a version, pick CPU, RAM and storage, set a password and click Create Server. OpenClaw comes pre-installed, so there is no Docker or manual setup. Then add your model API key and connect a chat channel. It takes a few minutes, and our support team can help if needed.

How much does it cost to run OpenClaw?+

OMC Cloud hosting starts at $4/mo for a personal bot. OpenClaw itself is free (MIT license). You also pay your LLM provider (Claude, GPT-4, etc.) separately for API usage.

Can I use Claude with OpenClaw?+

Yes. OpenClaw supports Claude as an LLM backend. Configure your Anthropic API key in the OpenClaw config file.

Can I run OpenClaw without an internet LLM?+

Yes. Deploy a self-hosted LLM (Llama 3, Mistral) on a GPU instance alongside OpenClaw for fully private, air-gapped operation.

What messaging platforms work with OpenClaw?+

Signal, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, IRC, Matrix, email, and custom webhooks. Most platforms are supported via built-in connectors or ClawHub plugins.

How do I install ClawHub plugins?+

ClawHub plugins install via the OpenClaw CLI or web interface. Browse 15,000+ community skills on ClawHub.

Is my data private when self-hosting?+

Yes. All conversation data stays on your OMC Cloud VPS. OpenClaw has no central service of its own. The only data that leaves the server is what you send to a hosted LLM provider, and with a self-hosted model even that stays on your infrastructure.

Can I run multiple OpenClaw bots?+

Yes. On a 4 GB+ VPS you can run multiple OpenClaw instances, each connected to different messaging platforms or using different LLM configurations.
