What is Telegram Bot Hosting?
Telegram bots need to run 24/7 to respond to messages and commands. Telegram bot hosting is a service that keeps your bot running continuously on a remote server—so you don't have to keep your computer on or manage infrastructure yourself.
You have three options:
Self-Host on VPS
Rent a server, install dependencies, configure webhooks and SSL, set up monitoring. Full control but time-consuming.
Generic Bot Hosting
Shared hosting for simple bots. Limited resources, no AI optimization, manual updates.
Specialized Managed
Purpose-built for AI agents like OpenClaw. Isolated VPS, automatic updates, webhook configuration, multi-platform.
Unlike generic bot hosting services built for simple command-based bots, ClawdHost is purpose-built for OpenClaw—an autonomous AI agent that requires more resources, multi-platform support, and specialized configuration including Telegram Bot API webhooks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Telegram bot hosting with ClawdHost
What is Telegram bot hosting?+
Telegram bot hosting is a service that keeps your Telegram bot running 24/7 on a remote server. Instead of keeping your computer on constantly or managing your own VPS, a hosting service handles the infrastructure, monitoring, and maintenance—so your bot is always available to respond to messages.
Why ClawdHost instead of generic bot hosting?+
Generic Telegram bot hosting services are built for simple bots. ClawdHost is purpose-built for OpenClaw—an autonomous AI agent that requires more resources, multi-platform support, and specialized configuration. We provide isolated VPS hosting (not shared containers), automatic OpenClaw updates, pre-configured webhook support, and connectivity for Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp simultaneously.
Do I need my own Telegram bot token?+
Yes. You’ll create a Telegram bot through BotFather (@BotFather on Telegram) and provide the token to ClawdHost. This means you maintain full control over your bot’s identity and settings. We provide a guided setup process to make this easy.
Does ClawdHost use webhooks or long polling?+
ClawdHost uses webhooks by default for optimal performance. Webhooks are faster and more efficient than long polling because Telegram pushes updates directly to your server instead of your bot constantly asking for them. We handle the SSL certificate and webhook configuration automatically.
How long does deployment take?+
About 60 seconds after you sign up. Once you add your LLM API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter) and Telegram bot token from BotFather, we automatically provision your isolated VPS, install OpenClaw, configure webhooks, and start your instance. No terminal commands, no config files.
What’s the difference between self-hosting and ClawdHost?+
Self-hosting on your own VPS costs $5-10/month but requires 30-60 minutes of setup, manual webhook configuration (nginx, SSL certs), monitoring setup (PM2/systemd), and ongoing maintenance. ClawdHost costs $29/month and handles everything: instant setup, automatic updates, 24/7 monitoring, security hardening, and professional support. Best for people who value their time more than $19/month.
Can I use this for Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp too?+
Yes! While this page focuses on Telegram bot hosting, ClawdHost supports all platforms OpenClaw works with: Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp. You can connect all of them from a single instance through the dashboard. Your AI assistant maintains consistent context across all platforms.
Is my data private and secure?+
Yes. Your OpenClaw instance runs on an isolated VPS (not a shared container). Your Telegram bot token and LLM API keys are encrypted with AES-256. Your conversations go directly from OpenClaw to your LLM provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.)—we never see your chat data. You bring your own API key (BYOK model), so you maintain full data ownership.
What happens if my bot crashes or goes offline?+
Our monitoring system checks your instance every 30 seconds. If OpenClaw crashes or becomes unresponsive, it’s automatically restarted within seconds. We also monitor resource usage, disk space, and system health. You can view real-time status in your dashboard.
How much does it cost?+
$29/month, all-inclusive. This includes your isolated VPS (2GB RAM, 2 vCPU), OpenClaw hosting, automatic updates, 24/7 monitoring, multi-platform support, encrypted storage, and email support. No hidden fees, no per-message charges. You only pay for your own LLM API usage (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.).
Do you offer a free trial or money-back guarantee?+
We offer a 24-hour money-back guarantee. If ClawdHost isn’t right for you within the first 24 hours, contact us for a full refund. No questions asked.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. You can cancel your subscription anytime from your dashboard. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. Your instance will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
What makes OpenClaw different from regular Telegram bots?+
Most Telegram bots are reactive—they wait for commands. OpenClaw is an autonomous AI agent that can proactively send you updates, run scheduled tasks, integrate with external tools (GitHub, Notion, etc.), browse the web, and maintain long-term memory. It’s also multi-platform, so the same AI assistant works across Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp with consistent context.
