Contabo + OpenClaw FAQ

Can I use an existing Contabo VPS with OpenClaw?

Yes. Provide the IP address and SSH credentials during BYOS setup. OpenClawHosting validates the OS, installs dependencies, and deploys OpenClaw alongside your existing services. A dedicated VPS is recommended for best performance.

Which Contabo region should I choose?

Pick the data center closest to your users. European users benefit from the German locations (Nuremberg, Munich). US users can choose between New York, St. Louis, and Seattle. Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney cover Asia-Pacific.

Does Contabo support automated backups?

Contabo provides free snapshot functionality on all VPS plans. You can create manual snapshots before updates or schedule them via the Contabo API. OpenClawHosting also runs nightly configuration exports to your connected storage.

How does Contabo compare to Hetzner for OpenClaw?

Both offer excellent value in Europe. Contabo typically provides more RAM per plan, while Hetzner offers more granular server sizing and a wider API ecosystem. Both work well with OpenClaw — choose based on your preferred region and resource needs.

Can I upgrade my Contabo VPS without data loss?

Contabo supports in-place upgrades to higher-tier plans. The process requires a brief reboot. OpenClaw reconnects to messaging platforms automatically once the server is back online.

What is the total cost for OpenClaw on Contabo?

Your total cost is the OpenClawHosting subscription plus your Contabo VPS cost (which varies by specs). AI provider API usage is billed separately. Check our pricing page and Contabo's website for current rates.
