OpenClaw on DigitalOcean FAQ
What is the process to deploy OpenClaw on DigitalOcean?
Create an OpenClawBotHosting account, choose BYOS mode, and paste a DigitalOcean API token. Select a Droplet tier and region, and our automation handles the full deployment — typically wrapped up in under five minutes.
Which Droplet tier works best for OpenClaw?
The Standard tier (2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, $12/mo) covers the majority of workloads well. If you expect heavy message volume or plan to bridge several platforms at once, stepping up to 4 GB RAM is a good move.
Will an existing DigitalOcean droplet?
Yes — point us at any Droplet running Ubuntu 22.04 or later. Share SSH credentials and we will install OpenClaw on the machine you already have.
Are all DigitalOcean regions compatible?
Every DigitalOcean region is compatible. Pick the location nearest your audience for the lowest latency, or choose based on data-residency rules.
What is the total monthly cost of OpenClaw on DigitalOcean?
Your bill has two parts: the OpenClawBotHosting plan ($29/mo and up) and your Droplet fee (generally $6–48/mo). A basic setup lands around $35/month total, with AI provider usage billed on its own.
Will I still have root access to my DigitalOcean droplet?
Without exception. Root stays with you at all times. We deploy and maintain OpenClaw, but ownership and access to the Droplet never leave your hands.
