What's on the box

Everything installed,
nothing to configure

The gateway listens on localhost only; nginx is the only thing exposed, guarded by basic auth and TLS. Swap the self-signed certificate for Let's Encrypt with one command.

Why run OpenClaw with us

Bring your own key

Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, OpenRouter and 40+ other providers. Your API key is injected once at checkout and never stored in our panel.

Ready in about 60 seconds

The stack is baked into the deployment: your gateway is up before you have finished reading this page.

Locked down by default

Basic auth and TLS in front, the gateway bound to localhost, a firewall that blocks everything else.

Enterprise NVMe

Fast NVMe storage on AMD EPYC nodes - snappy responses and quick restarts.

Up to 1 Gbit/s network

Each VPS gets up to 1 Gbit/s as standard, with up to 2.5 Gbit/s available at checkout.

Central EU location

Hosted in Eygelshoven, Netherlands - low latency across Germany, Benelux and most of Europe.

Bring your own key

Any provider,
your model

Pick the provider at checkout and paste your key. A sensible default model is configured for you - change it on the server whenever you like.

The InstantNode panel

A control panel that does
the heavy lifting

Install apps, schedule backups, manage your firewall and share access - all without touching a terminal.

App Installer

160+ self-hosted apps in one click: Nextcloud, WordPress, Grafana, game servers and more - deployed via Docker, straight from the panel.

Backups on your schedule

Daily backups run at the hour you choose, with up to three retained. Restore with one click, or download the full archive anytime.

Team access

Share server management by email with granular permissions: power, backups, files, console or settings - per person.

Built-in firewall

Open or block ports instantly from the panel - rules apply at the host level, no iptables required.

Usage history & traffic

CPU, RAM and network graphs from the last hour to the last month, including traffic totals for any window.

Reverse DNS (PTR)

Set PTR records for your IPs right in the panel - essential for running mail servers with good deliverability.

Console & file manager

Web console and a full file manager in the browser. Edit, upload and manage files without an SSH client.

Root password reset

Locked out? Set a new root password from the panel while the server keeps running. No rescue mode needed.

99.9% uptime

Backed by our SLA with pro-rata credits and a public live status page at status.instantnode.eu.

Perfect for

One assistant,
your workflows

What people put on an OpenClaw box.

Personal assistant

An always-on assistant that answers, drafts and summarises - on your server, with the model you choose.

Automations

Recurring jobs and hand-offs that run around the clock, without your laptop being awake.

Team gateway

One hardened endpoint for a small team - one provider key, one bill, one place to look.

Prototyping

Try your ideas against different providers and models - swap the key, keep the box.

Private by design

Prompts, keys and logs stay on your VPS in the EU - not on a shared SaaS.

Full root, still

It is a real KVM VPS: SSH in, add tools, run anything else next to OpenClaw.

Frequently asked questions

What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI assistant gateway - the upstream openclaw package. It runs on your own server, connects to the model provider of your choice with your own API key, and you talk to it through the gateway's HTTPS endpoint. We install and secure it for you; the software itself is the upstream project, updated to its latest release at deployment.
Which providers can I use?
More than 40: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, Cohere, Groq, DeepSeek, Together, Fireworks, OpenRouter, Perplexity, Hugging Face, Azure and others. You pick the provider at checkout and paste your key - a sensible default model for that provider is configured for you.
Is my API key stored by InstantNode?
No. The key is handed to the server exactly once during provisioning and lives only on your VPS. It is not kept in the panel or in our database - if you ever need to change it, you edit it on the server.
How do I reach the gateway?
Over HTTPS at your server's address. nginx sits in front with HTTP basic auth (user openclaw and the token shown to you after deployment) and a self-signed certificate. The gateway port itself is bound to localhost and blocked by the firewall, so nginx is the only door.
Can I change the key or the model later?
Yes - it is a real KVM VPS with full root access. Edit the OpenClaw configuration on the server and restart the gateway service; the panel's web console and file manager work too.
Can I use a real certificate?
Yes. Point a domain at your server and swap the self-signed certificate for Let's Encrypt with one command. Until then the self-signed certificate keeps the connection encrypted; your browser just asks you to trust it once.
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept PayPal, cryptocurrencies and your InstantNode account balance. Card payments are currently not available.
