The problem
Running AI agents unlocks real automation, but self-hosting turns into a full-time infrastructure project. Molted removes that friction entirely.
| Self-hosting | Molted | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | Hours of config | 2 minutes |
| Docker / SSH required | Yes | Never |
| Security | Your responsibility | Managed by default |
| When it crashes | You figure it out | Auto-repaired in <2 min |
| Updates | Manual, breaks things | Automatic, tested |
| Uptime | Your laptop must stay on | Runs 24/7 on our servers |
| Support | Stack Overflow | 24/7 expert support |
Sound familiar?
You're not bad at this. The self-hosting process is just hard. Especially if you're not a developer.
It's misleading. Expect to spend hours if you're not a developer. I had to upgrade Node, install Homebrew, install Xcode, and manually update NPM before I could even run the installer.
Developer documenting their install attempt
'openclaw installed successfully!' was misleading. npm failed during installation, so the CLI was never properly installed. I got a success message, started onboarding, then got an error.

My own experience was somewhere in the middle. Setup was manageable, but post-install behavior surprised me... the AI started taking actions that were technically within permissions I'd granted but not what I would have chosen.

Meanwhile, on Reddit:
847 exposed OpenClaw bots found with API keys leaked
Port 18789 wide open. Security misconfigured.

Writes code, tests it, and sets up automation workflows. Connects to APIs and builds tools for you.
Reads documents, extracts key points, and answers questions about them. Summarizes reports in seconds.
Integrates with APIs and services you already use. From Shopify to Google Workspace, Notion to Stripe.

Features
We handle everything from day 1 to day 365: provisioning, updates, security patches, repair. Nothing falls on you.
When something breaks, we fix it automatically in under 2 minutes. No button to click. No ticket to open. You get a notification, that's it.
We check your bot every 60 seconds. Not just the container: the actual process, the Telegram connection, the AI responses. If anything stops, we know.
OpenClaw updates itself. Security patches are applied automatically. You never touch a terminal or worry about breaking changes.
AES-256 encryption at rest, zero credentials in pods, presigned URLs with 5 minute expiry. Your data stays yours.
Free SSL certificate on every instance. Automatic daily backups. Restore with one click if you ever need it.
Every month you receive a report: crashes detected, auto-repairs performed, uptime percentage, messages saved. Proof of value.
None of them were ours.
OpenClaw is powerful. That's exactly why misconfigured instances are dangerous.

Someone scans port 18789, finds your exposed instance, extracts your API keys from memory or config.
Result: $500-5000 in unauthorized API calls before you notice
OpenClaw has access to your calendar, emails, files. An exposed instance = all that data, accessible.
Result: Personal data leaked, calendar scraped, emails read
OpenClaw can run shell commands. Wrong permissions = attacker runs commands on your machine.
Result: Full system compromise, ransomware, crypto miners

Posted 2 weeks ago
Did a Shodan scan for fun. Found 847 OpenClaw instances with port 18789 exposed. Most had default configs. Some had API keys in plain text environment variables. If you self-host, please at least put it behind a firewall.
Security isn't a feature we added. It's why we exist.

Like a classic wrapper, but better
Wrappers like Clawi, SimpleClaw, etc. charge $29-$49/mo for less.
Bring your own API key (Claude, GPT, Gemini...). We deploy your bot instantly. Same simplicity as wrappers, but you own your keys, get real OpenClaw, and features they don't offer.
What wrappers don't include:
API costs typically $10-30/mo
Configure everything
Full OpenClaw setup with advanced configuration. Choose your LLM, configure skills, cron jobs, integrations, custom domains. We guide you through onboarding.
API costs typically $10-50/mo
Not sure which LLM to pick?
On the One-Click and Pro Hosting plans, our onboarding wizard helps you choose the right model based on your use case, budget, and preferred language. Claude for deep reasoning, GPT for general tasks, DeepSeek for cost efficiency. You can switch anytime.

The truth about “2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM” plans
Most hosting platforms advertise fixed specs like “2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 20 GB Storage”. What they don't tell you: those resources are virtualized and shared across dozens of tenants on the same physical machine. Your “2 vCPU” is actually a fraction of a real CPU core, throttled the moment your neighbor spikes. You're paying for a marketing label, not actual dedicated performance.
Molted works differently. Your bot runs in an isolated Kubernetes pod with elastic resource allocation. Instead of locking you into fixed (and misleading) specs, we let the orchestrator scale CPU and memory based on what your bot actually needs at any given moment. Light usage? Minimal resources, no waste. Traffic spike? The pod scales up automatically. That's why we measure what actually matters to you: uptime, response speed, and auto-healing.
Uptime guarantee
Other platforms claim uptime but have no mechanism to enforce it. Our NodeAgent heartbeats every 60 seconds, detects application crashes (not just container failures), and auto-repairs in under 2 minutes.

Real use cases
Not marketing fluff. Real workflows running on Molted right now, built by the community.
Email triage
Reads your emails, Slack, and tickets. Triages everything, sends one actionable summary per day.
You say:
“Every morning, send me a summary of my emails and DMs: what’s urgent, what can wait, what you can reply to yourself.”
You get:
A Telegram message: “3 urgent / 7 can wait / 12 already handled”. With links and pre-written replies.
Web automation
Opens pages, fills forms, exports CSVs, takes screenshots. If it’s repetitive and boring, it does it.
You say:
“Open my back-office, filter unpaid invoices, export the CSV, and send me a summary on WhatsApp.”
You get:
In your chat: “12 invoices to follow up, total $3,250”. Plus the file, ready to go.
Support automation
Monitors your #support channel, answers simple questions instantly, only escalates the hard ones.
You say:
“In #support, reply to every message. If confident, send it. If not, draft it and tag me.”
You get:
A DM summary: “Handled 23 tickets today. Here are the 3 I need you for.”

Pourquoi ils ont basculé vers Molted
J'ai passé 2 jours à essayer d'auto-héberger OpenClaw. Problèmes de dépendances, configuration du pare-feu, certificats SSL... Molted l'avait en ligne en moins d'une minute. Maintenant, elle m'enregistre dans les vols et gère mon calendrier. Maintenant, elle m'enregistre dans les vols et gère mon calendrier.
J'exécutais OpenClaw sur mon propre VPS. Je me suis réveillé avec des crashs à 3h du matin deux fois le mois dernier. J'ai migré vers Molted - même bot, zéro ops. Maintenant, elle gère mes emails pendant que je dors. J'arrive vraiment à dormir
La sécurité était ma préoccupation avec l'auto-hébergement. Clés API exposées, port ouvert... Molted gère tout ça. Chiffré, surveillé, patché automatiquement.Je viens d'utiliser mon assistant.
