warning

Model costs are usually separate. Most providers require your own LLM API keys, and an always-on agent can run up large bills. Set spending limits in your provider's console; see Cost Management.

Security Warnings​

Before choosing a provider, be aware of these risks:

  • API cost runaway: Set spending limits on your LLM API accounts
  • Outdated versions: Ask which OpenClaw version the provider runs and how fast it applies updates. CVE-2026-25253 (fixed in 2026.1.29) is one of hundreds of published advisories; see Known Vulnerabilities
  • Exposed gateways: Internet scans in February 2026 found 42,665 exposed instances (Shodan, Feb 9) and 135,000+ in follow-up scans. On a VPS, keep gateway.bind on loopback and reach it through an SSH tunnel or Tailscale (hardening)
  • Third-party installers: Some providers advertise curl -fsSL https://<provider>/install | bash. That runs the provider's script with your privileges. Read it first, or use the official installer
  • Managed hosting privacy: Your conversations, memory and API keys sit on the provider's infrastructure. Review their privacy policy and data handling practices

See Security Overview and Security Hardening for detailed guidance.

Listing policy​

  • Who can be listed: any service that hosts or manages OpenClaw for customers, or a VPS provider with an OpenClaw-specific template or guide. Services for other agents (for example Hermes) are listed only when clearly labelled.
  • Disclosure: a pull request that adds or edits an entry must state the author's affiliation with the operator (owner, employee, contractor, affiliate, or none). Undisclosed vendor edits are reverted.
  • Prices are dated: every price carries the date it was checked ("as of YYYY-MM-DD") and a link to the provider's own page.
  • Unverified claims are marked: uptime, compliance, security and "first/only/best" claims are the vendor's own unless a source is cited. Clawdocs does not test these services.
  • Pruning: entries whose site is unreachable, returns 404, or no longer offers OpenClaw are removed at the next review. Removed on 2026-10-18: Clawhost.dev (404; its npx clawd deploy line pointed at an unrelated npm package), RunClaw.ai (connection timeout), ClawRun.dev (HTTP 503), Kilo Claw (page redirects to the generic kilo.ai homepage), WZ-IT (OpenClaw page redirects to a generic managed-hosting page), Clawery (site no longer mentions OpenClaw) and NEAR AI (near.ai/openclaw returns 404).
