Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM does OpenClaw need?

OpenClaw runs well with 2-4GB of RAM for small to medium deployments. For high-traffic production environments with multiple concurrent agents, we recommend 8GB or more. The exact requirements depend on how many skills you're running simultaneously and the complexity of your workflows. Most users find 4GB to be the sweet spot for reliable performance without unnecessary overhead.

Can I run NemoClaw on a $5 VPS?

Yes! NemoClaw is lightweight and can run on entry-level VPS plans like a $5/month server with 1-2GB RAM. However, for optimal performance with multiple concurrent connections and skill execution, we recommend a minimum of 2GB RAM. If you plan to run many skills simultaneously or expect high traffic, upgrading to 4GB ($10-15/mo) will give you much better stability.

What is the best cheap VPS for OpenClaw?

Hostinger offers the best value with their 1-click OpenClaw template at $3.99/month. It comes pre-configured with all dependencies and support, eliminating setup hassles. If you prefer manual setup and want the absolute lowest price, Vultr's $2.50/month entry plan works, but requires technical knowledge. For beginners, Hostinger's simplicity and built-in support make it the best choice despite not being the cheapest per dollar.
