What is OpenClaw?
Your personal AI that actually does things.
OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot/Moltbot) is an AI assistant that talks to you on the messaging apps you already use – WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more. It runs on your own server instead of someone else’s cloud.
OpenClaw AI doesn’t just chat. It can browse the web, manage files, run commands, schedule tasks, and work autonomously while you sleep or focus on other tasks. The entire project is open-source with an active community on OpenClaw GitHub, where developers constantly add new features and integrations. You control which AI models it uses – Claude, GPT, or local models – and your data never leaves your server unless you want it to.

From managing your shopping list to running complex business workflows, the uses are endless. Here are a few ideas:

OpenClaw FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about OpenClaw on VPS
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that runs on your own server and works through messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, it runs on your infrastructure – so your data stays private and you control everything. It can browse the web, manage files, execute commands, and automate tasks autonomously.
Clawdbot and Moltbot are the former names for OpenClaw. The project started as Clawdbot, was briefly renamed to Moltbot, and finally settled on OpenClaw as its permanent name. All three names refer to the same open-source AI assistant platform that went viral in early 2026.
Deploy OpenClaw on Contabo for always-on hosting at a predictable price. Your assistant runs 24/7 without tying up your laptop, and you get dedicated resources with a static IP for reliable webhook integrations. Contabo infrastructure ensures your AI assistant stays online and responsive whenever you need it.
OpenClaw features include multi-platform chat support (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more), web browsing and scraping, file system management, shell command execution, persistent memory that learns your preferences, proactive messaging and scheduling, sub-agent creation for complex tasks, and 50+ tool integrations. It works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or local AI models – you choose.
Yes. Point your domain to your VPS IP address and configure SSL with Let’s Encrypt for secure access to your OpenClaw instance.
OpenClaw works with Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, and local models via Ollama. You bring your own API keys – no vendor lock-in. Bear in mind that you will need to have an API key with billing set up for your chosen AI provider, and that you will pay per token – be sure to keep an eye on token usage as these costs can add up fast with an autonomous agent like OpenClaw.
The price of self-hosting OpenClaw starts with the server cost plus your AI provider API costs. Since you will pay per token, it’s important to monitor your API usage closely to manage these costs. Contabo does not include any per-user fees or message limits.
When set up carefully in a self-hosted environment, all your data stays on your server. Your API keys are encrypted, and you control access completely. Nothing is sent to external servers except API calls to your chosen AI provider. Of course, since you have full control over your setup, that means all security beyond the server level is also your responsibility.
Contabo provides full technical support for your VPS infrastructure – including the server hardware, network, and the initial 1-click installation of OpenClaw. Once OpenClaw is installed and running, you’re responsible for configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting the application itself.
For OpenClaw-specific questions – like setting up integrations, configuring AI models, or customizing features – check the official OpenClaw documentation and the active community on GitHub. The OpenClaw project has excellent guides and a helpful developer community ready to assist with application-level issues.
