Frequently Asked
Questions
Everything you need to know about OpenClaw Contabo Hosting.
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant built by Peter Steinberger. It operates on hardware you own, connects to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage, and provides conversation memory, browser automation, file handling, and terminal access. It functions as an all-in-one digital assistant embedded in your everyday chat applications.
Why host OpenClaw on Contabo?
Contabo delivers exceptional VPS value — substantial RAM, storage, and CPU allocations at prices well below the industry average. With data centers across Germany, the US, UK, Japan, Singapore, and Australia, you get worldwide coverage without premium pricing. Dollar for dollar, Contabo provides significantly more compute power than most alternatives.
What VPS specifications are recommended?
The Contabo VPS M (6 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 400 GB SSD) works well for most users. If you intend to run on-device AI models or connect numerous platforms at once, the VPS L (8 vCPU, 30 GB RAM) is a better fit. Visit Contabo's website for current plan details.
Do I need to supply my own AI API key?
Yes. OpenClaw works with Claude from Anthropic, GPT from OpenAI, and self-hosted models through Ollama. You provide your API key for cloud-based models, or host models locally on your Contabo VPS for maximum privacy.
What does the deployment process look like?
After signing up, you share your Contabo server credentials with our platform. We connect to your VPS, install OpenClaw, configure your selected messaging channels, and hand everything back to you. The whole process wraps up in a few minutes.
How is my data protected?
All data remains exclusively on your Contabo server. OpenClaw is fully self-hosted, meaning we never see or access your conversations, files, or AI interactions. Contabo facilities include physical security measures, redundant power systems, and network-level DDoS mitigation.
Can I use locally-hosted AI models?
Absolutely. OpenClaw integrates with Ollama for on-device language model inference. With a Contabo VPS L or dedicated server, you can run models such as Llama, Mistral, or Phi entirely on your own hardware with no external data transmission.
Which chat platforms does OpenClaw work with?
OpenClaw currently supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, and iMessage. Microsoft Teams and Matrix compatibility is in development. Your assistant carries its conversation memory across every connected platform.
