Your OpenClaw agent, awake at 3am so you don't have to be
A personal assistant is only useful if it is always there. We run your OpenClaw instance on an isolated UK server, so it keeps answering whether or not your computer is on.
- Online 24/7
- Your own isolated instance
- Data stays in the UK
From £6.99 a month, no minimum term. Prices exclude VAT. No setup fee.
the options
Where do you put a personal agent?
OpenClaw is free software. Running it is the easy part; keeping it running, reachable and private is the part that takes an evening and then keeps taking evenings.

If you already run a home server you keep patched and monitored, self-hosting OpenClaw on it is a perfectly good answer and costs you nothing.
Private by arrangement, not by promise
A personal agent sees your messages, your calendar and your files. That shapes how we run it.
One instance, one customer
Your OpenClaw runs in its own isolated container with its own storage. It is not a shared tenancy with other people's agents, conversations or credentials.
UK data centres
Your instance and its data sit on servers in the United Kingdom, under UK jurisdiction, not replicated to wherever capacity happened to be cheap.
Channels connected for you
Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal and email, linked during setup so you are not reading pairing instructions on a Sunday evening.
Watched, and restarted if it stops
We monitor the process rather than just the server. If the agent stops responding it is restarted automatically, and if that does not fix it a human looks.
Updates without the gamble
OpenClaw moves fast. We take new releases on a short delay, keep the previous version ready, and put yours back if a release breaks something you use.
Your data, exportable
Ask us at any time for a full export of your instance — configuration, memory and history — in a form you can run yourself. No lock-in.
The honest version of running a personal agent
Four things worth understanding before you point one at your messages — from us rather than from a forum thread at midnight.
It needs to be always on to be useful
A personal agent that only works when your laptop is open is a chatbot. The value arrives when it can act while you are asleep or busy: catching a message, running a scheduled check, following up on something from last Tuesday. That is the whole reason to host it somewhere rather than run it locally, and it is why we monitor the process and not just the machine.
It will hold real credentials
To be useful it needs access to some combination of your messaging apps, calendar, email and files. Those tokens live on the instance. We keep each instance isolated with its own storage precisely because of this, we encrypt the volume, and our engineers do not go looking inside your instance — but you should size up any host on this question, including us, and you should be able to get your data out. You can, at any time.
The model is a separate decision and a separate bill
OpenClaw talks to a language model, and you choose which. Point it at Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter or a local model, using your own account and key. We host the agent; the model usage is billed to you by whoever provides it. That keeps the choice yours and means we have no incentive to steer you toward a more expensive model.
Updates are frequent, and not always kind
OpenClaw is an active open-source project. Releases arrive often and occasionally change behaviour you had come to rely on. We do not apply releases the day they land: we take them on a short delay, keep your previous version, and roll back if something you use stops working. If you would rather stay on a version indefinitely, tell us and we will pin it.
