Run a persistent Clawdbot Gateway on DigitalOcean for **$6/month** (or $4/mo with reserved pricing).
If you want something even cheaper, see [Oracle Cloud (Free Tier)](#oracle-cloud-free-alternative) at the bottom — it's **actually free forever**.
If you want a $0/month option and don’t mind ARM + provider-specific setup, see the [Oracle Cloud guide](/platforms/oracle).
## Cost Comparison (2026)
| Provider | Plan | Specs | Price/mo | Notes |
|----------|------|-------|----------|-------|
| **Oracle Cloud** | Always Free ARM | 4 OCPU, 24GB RAM | **$0** | Best value, requires ARM-compatible setup |
| **Hetzner** | CX22 | 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM | €3.79 (~$4) | Cheapest paid, EU datacenters |
| **DigitalOcean** | Basic | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $6 | Easy UI, good docs |
| **Vultr** | Cloud Compute | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $6 | Many locations |
| **Linode** | Nanode | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $5 | Now part of Akamai |
| Oracle Cloud | Always Free ARM | up to 4 OCPU, 24GB RAM | $0 | ARM, limited capacity / signup quirks |
| Hetzner | CX22 | 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM | €3.79 (~$4) | Cheapest paid option |
| DigitalOcean | Basic | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $6 | Easy UI, good docs |
| Vultr | Cloud Compute | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $6 | Many locations |
| Linode | Nanode | 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM | $5 | Now part of Akamai |
**Recommendation:**
- **Free:** Oracle Cloud ARM (if you can handle the signup process)
- **Paid:** Hetzner CX22 (best specs per dollar) — see [Hetzner guide](/platforms/hetzner)
- **Easy:** DigitalOcean (this guide) — beginner-friendly UI
**Picking a provider:**
- DigitalOcean: simplest UX + predictable setup (this guide)
- Hetzner: good price/perf (see [Hetzner guide](/platforms/hetzner))
- Oracle Cloud: can be $0/month, but is more finicky and ARM-only (see [Oracle guide](/platforms/oracle))

### Quick setup:
1. Sign up at [oracle.com/cloud/free](https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/)
2. Create a VM.Standard.A1.Flex instance (ARM)
3. Choose Oracle Linux or Ubuntu
4. Allocate up to 4 OCPU / 24GB RAM within free tier
5. Follow the same Clawdbot install steps above
**Caveats:**
- Signup can be finicky (retry if it fails)
- ARM architecture — most things work, but some binaries need ARM builds
- Oracle may reclaim idle instances (keep them active)
