About BotVPS
BotVPS provides virtual private servers set up for running autonomous AI agents. Instead of building a bare Ubuntu machine by hand, you pick a plan, paste an SSH public key and pay, and a server is ready in about three minutes with OpenClaw already installed so the agent can be reached through messaging apps.
The images come with common tooling pre-installed and version-pinned, including Node.js, Python, Go, Docker and Git. Security defaults are hardened: access is by SSH key only, password login and root login are disabled, and a firewall is active. The plans are named Starter, Pro and Max, and checkout uses Stripe.
BotVPS is a hosted commercial service labeled as beta. The server is yours to log into over SSH, but it is operated as a managed offering rather than software you host yourself.
