What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI chatbot framework for deploying conversational agents across multiple platforms. With over 145,000 stars on GitHub, it has become one of the most popular projects in the AI chatbot space. OpenClaw supports a wide range of large language models (LLMs) including OpenAI GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Mistral, and more.
Unlike proprietary chatbot builders, OpenClaw gives you complete control over your bot's behavior, data, and integrations. You can connect it to Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and custom web interfaces. You can define custom tools, plugins, and workflows that make your bot truly unique. The project is actively maintained by a growing community, with frequent releases that add new model integrations, platform support, and workflow features.
However, deploying and maintaining OpenClaw on your own infrastructure requires significant DevOps expertise. You need to manage servers, configure deployments, handle SSL certificates, set up databases, implement monitoring, and keep everything updated and secure. A single misconfiguration can expose your API keys or leave your instance vulnerable to known exploits. This is where ClawBlitz comes in.
Why Choose Managed OpenClaw Hosting?
Self-hosting OpenClaw is not for the faint of heart. Between provisioning servers, configuring reverse proxies, managing SSL certificates, setting up persistent storage, and handling updates, you could spend hours or even days before your first bot sends a message. Our managed vs. self-hosting comparison breaks down exactly how much time and effort you save.
Managed hosting with ClawBlitz eliminates all of that complexity. When you choose ClawBlitz for your OpenClaw hosting, you get a production-ready deployment in under a minute. No SSH. No technical setup required. Just a clean dashboard where you configure your bot, connect your platforms, paste your API keys, and hit deploy.
But convenience is just the beginning. Managed hosting also means your deployment is monitored around the clock. If something goes wrong, it restarts automatically. If a new version of OpenClaw drops, you can apply the update with one click. No manual migration required.
Security is another major factor. According to recent scans, there are over 42,665 misconfigured OpenClaw instances exposed on the public internet right now. Many of them are running outdated versions with known vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-25253, a critical remote code execution flaw that affects unpatched self-hosted deployments. With ClawBlitz, your instance is patched as soon as fixes are available. You do not need to track security advisories or apply patches manually. Read more about how we handle this on our OpenClaw security page.
For businesses that rely on chatbots for customer support, lead generation, or internal operations, downtime is not an option. ClawBlitz provides the reliability and performance you need, backed by infrastructure built specifically for OpenClaw.

Infrastructure Built for OpenClaw
ClawBlitz is not a generic PaaS. Our infrastructure is built specifically for running OpenClaw. From the ground up, everything is tuned for AI chatbot workloads. If you have looked at other options, our hosting provider comparison shows how ClawBlitz stacks up against alternatives like Railway, Render, and self-managed VPS solutions.
Each deployment runs in its own isolated environment with dedicated resources. This means your bot's performance is never affected by noisy neighbors. CPU and memory are guaranteed, not shared. Your instance gets the compute it needs to handle spikes in conversation volume without slowing down.
We run on bare-metal servers in Tier 4 data centers, giving us the low latency and high throughput that AI workloads demand. Our edge network ensures that webhook callbacks from platforms like Discord and Telegram reach your bot in milliseconds, not seconds. This matters for real-time conversations where users expect instant responses.
For data persistence, we provide managed PostgreSQL instances for bots that need conversation history, user preferences, or custom data storage. Your database is provisioned automatically when you deploy and is included in your subscription at no extra cost.
Logging and monitoring are built in from day one. Every deployment comes with structured log aggregation, real-time metrics dashboards, and configurable alerts. You can see exactly what your bot is doing, how it is performing, and when something needs attention. If your bot goes down at 3 AM, ClawBlitz restarts it before you wake up.
Production Security for Every Deployment
Security is not optional when you are running an AI chatbot that handles user data and stores API keys worth hundreds or thousands of dollars per month. Self-hosted OpenClaw instances are a frequent target precisely because they often store credentials for OpenAI, Anthropic, and other LLM providers in plain text or weakly protected configuration files.
The numbers tell the story. Internet scans have identified 42,665 misconfigured OpenClaw instances that are publicly accessible with default settings. Many of these are running versions affected by CVE-2026-25253, a critical vulnerability that allows remote code execution through crafted webhook payloads. If you are self-hosting and have not patched since January 2026, your instance may be at risk.
ClawBlitz addresses these risks at every layer. Every deployment gets its own isolated runtime environment. API keys and secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and are only decrypted in memory at runtime. Network-level security rules restrict inbound traffic to only the webhook endpoints your platforms need. TLS is enforced on all connections, with certificates managed and renewed automatically.
When new CVEs are published, we patch the base image and roll out updates to all managed instances. You do not need to subscribe to mailing lists or monitor the OpenClaw GitHub repository for security advisories. For a detailed breakdown of every security measure, visit our OpenClaw security page.
Who Uses ClawBlitz?

Managed Hosting vs. Self-Hosting OpenClaw
The decision between managed hosting and self-hosting comes down to how you want to spend your time. Self-hosting gives you full control, but it also gives you full responsibility for uptime, security patches, and infrastructure maintenance. For a detailed side-by-side breakdown, read our full managed vs. self-hosting comparison.
| Capability | ClawBlitz | Self-Hosted |
|---|---|---|
| Time to deploy | 60 seconds | Hours to days |
| Security patches | Automatic | Manual |
| SSL/TLS certificates | Managed | DIY (Let's Encrypt) |
| Crash recovery | Automatic | Manual or custom scripts |
| Monitoring and alerts | Built in | Set up yourself |
| DevOps knowledge needed | None | Significant |

Transparent Pricing
ClawBlitz is $58 per month. One plan, everything included: hosting, monitoring, automatic updates, encrypted secrets management, and priority support. No hidden fees. No usage caps on our platform.
We do not charge per message or per API call to our platform. Your subscription covers the infrastructure and management layer. You only pay separately for your own LLM API usage (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) based on those providers' own pricing.
Compared to self-hosting on a VPS (typically $20-40/month for the server alone, plus your time maintaining it), ClawBlitz saves you hours every month in DevOps work. For most teams, the time savings alone justify the cost. See our hosting provider comparison for a detailed cost breakdown across different options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. ClawBlitz provides a visual dashboard for all configuration. You do not need to write any code, edit YAML files, or use a terminal. Everything is point-and-click. Our setup guide walks you through the entire process.
Can I use my own API keys?
Yes. You bring your own API keys for LLM providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or others. ClawBlitz stores them securely using AES-256 encryption and injects them into your OpenClaw instance at runtime. Your keys never leave our encrypted storage unencrypted.
What happens if my bot crashes?
ClawBlitz automatically restarts your bot within seconds. Our monitoring system detects failures in real time and triggers recovery procedures without any manual intervention. You can also view crash logs and diagnostics through the dashboard.
Can I migrate from a self-hosted setup?
Absolutely. If you are currently running OpenClaw on your own server, you can export your configuration and import it into ClawBlitz. Our support team can help with the migration process. Read our managed vs. self-hosting comparison for a full breakdown of what changes and what stays the same.
