FAQs about VPS servers with OpenClaw preinstalled

• What is OpenClaw and how can I use it?

  OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI platform that allows you to integrate models such as OpenAI or Anthropic into the messaging apps you already use. It works as a unified control panel to manage AI conversations across multiple channels. You can use it for internal assistants, AI agents, or workflow automation.

• Are Clawdbot and Moltbot the same as OpenClaw?

  Yes. Clawdbot and Moltbot are the previous names of the project now known as OpenClaw. The platform evolved over time until adopting the final name OpenClaw. All three names refer to the same open-source AI platform.

• What does it mean that OpenClaw is “self-hosted”?

  It means the software is installed on your VPS and runs on your infrastructure. You have full control over configurations, updates, and API management. Data and sessions remain within your environment, without relying on an external SaaS platform.

• Do I need to manually install OpenClaw on the VPS?

  With the preconfigured Aruba Cloud VPS, OpenClaw is already installed and ready to use. You only need to configure the AI model API keys and connect the messaging channels to activate your assistant.

• Which messaging platforms can I connect?

  OpenClaw supports WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, and other platforms. You can manage multiple channels simultaneously from a single centralized interface. This allows you to maintain consistency and context across conversations in different environments.

• Which AI models can I use with OpenClaw?

  OpenClaw supports models from different providers, including OpenAI and Anthropic (Claude), using your own API keys. This allows you to choose the model that best fits your automation and performance needs. The VPS with OpenClaw is already prepared to connect supported AI providers. You can select the most suitable model for your needs and change it at any time.

• Can OpenClaw browse the web and run automations?

  Yes. OpenClaw can be configured to perform automated tasks, such as interacting with web services, processing files, or executing scripts, depending on the VPS environment configuration. It can operate on dedicated browsers, file systems, and shell environments, according to the permissions and settings defined by the administrator. This flexibility makes it suitable for advanced technical and operational workflows, where AI interactions need to be transformed into concrete actions.

• Can I use a custom domain for my installation?

  Yes. You can point your domain to the VPS IP address. By configuring an SSL certificate (for example with Actalis or Let’s Encrypt), you can ensure secure HTTPS access. This way, your OpenClaw instance is accessible through a customized and protected URL.
