An assistant installed on a laptop is only available while that laptop is awake, connected, and within reach. OpenClaw Hosting moves the Gateway to an Atlantic.Net Cloud Server, where it can stay online for messages, sessions, tools, and scheduled work.
Atlantic.Net prepares the server and OpenClaw application through a one-click deployment. You bring access to a supported model provider, authorize the people who can use the assistant, and connect the channels that fit your workflow. The result is a self-hosted OpenClaw environment without having to assemble the base server and runtime by hand.
What Is OpenClaw Hosting?
OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted Gateway that connects chat applications to an AI assistant. One Gateway can serve multiple configured channels, maintain sessions and memory, route work between agents, and expose a browser-based Control UI.
OpenClaw Hosting runs that Gateway on a persistent Atlantic.Net Cloud Server under your account. The server is a stable operating environment for OpenClaw's configuration, channel connections, session state, tools, and logs. Your phone, browser, or chat application is the way in; the Gateway remains available in the cloud.
The current one-click application uses a customer-supplied model provider. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or another provider supported by OpenClaw, and manage model usage separately from the Cloud Server. That separation lets you change models without rebuilding the Gateway or moving its channels and state.
Why Put the OpenClaw Gateway in the Cloud?
Stay Available When Local Devices Are Offline
Keep the Gateway running when a desktop sleeps, a laptop changes networks, or a team member signs off. A persistent host is a better foundation for an assistant reached through chat, scheduled jobs, and longer-running tools.

Give Every Channel One Stable Home
Connect supported services such as Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal, WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Matrix, and more. One Gateway coordinates the channels and sessions you configure instead of scattering state across user devices.

Keep the Gateway Under Your Account
OpenClaw's configuration and server-side state remain in an environment you administer. You decide how the Gateway is accessed, where backups are stored, which updates are applied, and which users and integrations are granted access.

Choose Models Independently of the Host
Bring your own model provider and change models or routing as your requirements change. Infrastructure cost and provider usage stay visible as separate parts of the service.

What's Included
One-Click OpenClaw Deployment
Select OpenClaw in the Atlantic.Net Cloud Portal, choose a Cloud Server plan and region, and launch a prepared application image. Start from a consistent installation rather than building the operating system, Node.js runtime, and base application manually.

Multi-Channel Messaging
Use the supported chat and collaboration services that align with how your team already communicates. Configure each channel's bot credentials, approved users, group behavior, and routing rules from the Gateway.

Bring Your Own Model
Connect OpenClaw to a supported provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter. Keep provider choice separate from the server so you can evaluate model quality, latency, and cost without moving the deployment.

Tools, Skills, and Scheduled Work
OpenClaw supports tools, skills, webhooks, cron jobs, and multi-agent routing. Begin with the smallest capability set the assistant needs, validate the workflow, and expand permissions deliberately.

Self-hosting gives you control of the Gateway; it does not remove external data paths. Prompts sent to a model provider are processed under that provider's terms, and connected messaging services handle messages under their own terms. Review each service before using the assistant with sensitive information.
Secure the Gateway Before You Add Powerful Tools
Treat Gateway access as privileged access. Use explicit pairing or allowlists, keep the Control UI on localhost or a protected private route, and require strong Gateway authentication. Run the service under a dedicated operating-system account, restrict provider keys and channel tokens, and keep OpenClaw and the host updated.
Separate users or workloads that do not share the same trust boundary. A dedicated Gateway or Cloud Server gives each environment its own credentials, tools, writable data, and recovery path. OpenClaw also provides a security audit command; run it after configuration changes and resolve critical findings before expanding access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does OpenClaw Hosting Include an AI Model?
No. The current Atlantic.Net one-click application requires access to a supported external model provider. OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter are common choices. Provider charges are separate from the Atlantic.Net Cloud Server.
Is OpenClaw Hosting Fully Managed?
The Cloud Server infrastructure is supported by Atlantic.Net, but OpenClaw is self-managed. You configure the Gateway, model provider, channels, users, tools, updates, monitoring, and backups. Atlantic.Net managed services may be added separately where available and appropriate.
Is a Self-Hosted OpenClaw Deployment Private?
The Gateway, configuration, and server-side state run in an environment under your account. Messages still pass through the chat services and model providers you connect. Their terms and data-handling practices remain part of your privacy assessment.
How Much Server Capacity Does OpenClaw Need?
Capacity depends on active users, channels, concurrent sessions, enabled tools, browser automation, stored files, and whether any models run locally. Start with a measurable workload, monitor CPU, memory, storage, and process health, and resize when usage shows the need.
Can I Change Model Provider Later?
Yes. Provider configuration is separate from the server. You can change supported providers or models while keeping the same Gateway, channels, and server-side state, subject to the configuration and credentials required by the new provider.
How Is OpenClaw Different From Hermes Agent?
OpenClaw is the stronger starting point for an always-available, messaging-first assistant. Hermes is the stronger starting point for tool-driven, scheduled work that benefits from a learning loop and reusable skills. Their capabilities overlap, and some teams run both with separate credentials and clearly divided responsibilities.
