Aren't All the OpenClaw Hosting Services the Same?

There are several services that will host OpenClaw for you. We think our service, klausai.com, is the best one. Here’s why.

Table stakes

Every decent OpenClaw hosting service offers the basics:

  • Fast setup (under a minute to get running)
  • One-click integrations with major messaging platforms
  • Runs on a VM for security isolation
  • Pre-paid API credits for every major LLM provider

If your provider doesn’t do all of these, run.

Built-in access to paid tools

We give every user access to tools that would normally require separate accounts and billing:

  • AgentMail — Every user gets their own email inbox that Klaus can send and receive from
  • $20 of Orthogonal credits — Use services like Apollo.io, Hunter.io, SearchAPI, and Nano-Banana Image Gen without setting up separate accounts
  • $15 of OpenRouter tokens — Start using Claude, GPT-4, and other models immediately

Proactive support

Clawbert is our AI Site Reliability Engineer. It checks the health of every Klaus instance every hour. When something breaks — like when Minimax bricks your openclaw.json — Clawbert often fixes the issue before you even notice there’s a problem.

Klaus is also available in our Discord to answer questions and help debug issues.

If it works locally, it works on our VM

This matters more than you might think.

We forked gogcli so that you can use it securely on Klaus. If your OpenClaw-on-a-VM provider hasn’t done this, ask them where they store your secrets. The answer might surprise you.

We also make it easy to:

  • Set up Tailscale — SSH into your machine and run terminal commands just like you would on localhost
  • Use our browser extension — Klaus can control your Chrome windows over Tailscale, giving you the same browser automation capabilities you’d have running locally

Agent-friendly design

Klaus ships with built-in skills for:

  • Querying token usage
  • Adding integrations
  • Submitting bug reports
  • Getting help

We also add lines to your bootstrap files to preempt common mistakes. Things like installing a bad version of Chrome, or asking you to run terminal commands when it should run them itself. We’ve seen the failure modes and we’ve patched them.
