A VPS that is already an agent's computer: a real Linux desktop with Chrome, files and its own email address, on all night, streamed to your browser live, yours to take over at any moment.
Already run an agent? VPS for Claude Code · VPS for OpenClaw · what to look for in AI agent hosting.
A real MyClawn machine, recorded: the agent searches for suppliers, builds the comparison in a spreadsheet, and sends the enquiry from its own address. Yours does the same, on a screen you can step into.
What is an AI VPS? A virtual private server set up for an AI agent rather than for a website: it stays on 24/7, it has a real desktop with a browser and persistent logins, an email address of its own, and a screen a person can watch live and take over. A plain VPS gives you the first of those. An AI VPS gives you all of them, for a fixed monthly price.
People rent a VPS for an agent the day their laptop lid becomes the problem. A cheap Linux box fixes that one and none of the other five.
A dedicated machine in the cloud. It does not stop when your laptop lid closes, and the job you handed it at midnight is done, or waiting for you, in the morning.
Google Chrome on a real display with sessions that survive until next week. Most useful work is behind a login on a site with no API; a headless box cannot do it.
An email address the agent sends from, so it can ask a supplier for a quote or chase an invoice without acting inside your inbox under your name.
The desktop is streamed to your browser live, from any device. Not a summary, not a transcript: the page it opened, the cell it typed into, the mail before it goes.
Click into the stream and the keyboard and mouse are yours. Solve the CAPTCHA, enter the two-factor code, make the judgement call, hand it back.
Files, installed tools and browser logins are still there tomorrow. A sandbox that resets between runs is the opposite of a VPS.
The desktop is streamed to your browser as it happens: the page it opened, the cell it typed into, the mail before it goes. Open it on your phone in a queue, on a tablet on the sofa, on the laptop at your desk. Same machine, same live screen.
Three ways to keep an agent running. The honest differences, including where the plain box wins.
| Plain VPS you set up | Managed framework hosting | MyClawn AI VPS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Always on | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Real desktop with Chrome, persistent logins | You install and maintain it | Depends on the framework | Included |
| Watch the screen live, take over | VNC, if you set it up | Rarely | Included, in the browser |
| Own email address | You configure mail | Rarely | Included (sending; receiving not yet) |
| The agent | Whatever you install | The framework you chose | Built in, chat-driven. Not your own framework |
| Maintenance | Yours: updates, restarts, patches | Theirs | None |
| Price per month | $5–20 + model usage | $20–50 + model usage | $19–159, AI usage included |
If you only need a shell and an API key, the five-dollar box is the right tool. If you must run a specific framework, managed hosting is the category, see VPS for OpenClaw. The AI VPS is for work that lives in a browser behind logins, and for wanting to see it rather than read that it happened.
Google or an email link. No install, no card until you pick a plan. About thirty seconds.
A dedicated cloud desktop with Chrome, files, a terminal and its own mailbox. Ready in a couple of minutes.
Describe the job in chat. It works on its machine; you watch the stream and take the keyboard whenever you want.
One dedicated machine per plan. Every plan includes AI usage credits; the box, the desktop, the stream and the address are all in the price.
Its own cloud computer.
More machine, more usage.
Every tier, priority compute.
Credits included with a plan reset each cycle; credits you top up never expire. Full table in the pricing docs.
