VPS Deployment

Deploy OpenClaw on traditional VPS providers. Each script includes security best practices: non-root user, firewall configuration, and safety defaults.

Advanced Users Only

VPS deployment requires server administration experience (SSH, firewall configuration, security hardening). If you're new to managing servers, try Cloudflare deployment instead or book our done-for-you service.
