Unmetered Web Hosting

How much bandwidth will my plan include?

Bandwidth is "Unmetered" which means you are not charged according to the amount of bandwidth you typically use in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.

However, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to not exceed 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds.

What happens if I exceed usage?

If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage.

It is rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed our usage policies.

Terms of Service

Infrastructure Only Support

We maintain the hardware, network, and virtualization layer. You manage your OS, configurations, and applications.

These Self Managed VPS plans are perfect when you want full control of your server and are comfortable managing your own software, configurations, and applications. If you prefer assisted management, explore our Managed VPS or Dedicated options.

How does Hermes Agent actually work?


ai system integrating with different platforms and apps

Hermes Agent works like a persistent AI workspace. It can take instructions, use memory, run commands and connect to your preferred model provider. It can also turn repeated work into reusable skills.

 

You can run Hermes on a laptop. But that setup depends on your device staying active, connected and available.

 

A self-managed VPS gives Hermes a steadier place to run. Dedicated DDR5 RAM and NVMe storage help reduce slowdowns that can happen in shared environments, especially when the agent indexes memory or manages execution files.

 

Once deployed, Hermes can stay available in the background. It can support gateway workflows and handle recurring tasks across sessions. Your memory, workflow data and configurations stay on your own server, giving you stronger control and data sovereignt

Hermes Agent: A smarter alternative to OpenClaw for persistent AI workflows

For users who want an agent-first system that remembers how they work, Hermes offers a persistent foundation for workflows that improve over time.

Hermes Agent VPS Hosting FAQs


What is Hermes Agent VPS hosting?

Hermes Agent VPS hosting means running Hermes Agent on a virtual private server instead of a local machine. It gives developers a persistent server environment for hosting the agent, configuring model providers, running the gateway and supporting scheduled AI workflows that stay available beyond a single laptop session.


Why use VPS for self-hosted AI agents?

A VPS gives self-hosted AI agents a private, always-available environment for long-running workflows. It helps you keep agent data, API keys, workflow files and environment settings under your control while giving you the flexibility to configure model providers, tools and gateways.


Can Bluehost VPS support both Hermes Agent and OpenClaw?

Yes. Bluehost VPS can support self-hosted AI agents like Hermes Agent and OpenClaw. Hermes is a stronger fit for persistent memory, reusable skills and scheduled tasks, while OpenClaw is better suited for prompt pipelines, orchestration and private AI workflow automation.


Why host Hermes Agent on VPS instead of running it locally?

Hosting Hermes Agent on VPS gives your agent a stable, always-on environment. Instead of stopping when your laptop is closed or disconnected, Hermes can stay available for memory, skills, messaging access, scheduled tasks and long-running AI workflows.


How does Hermes Agent work on a self-managed VPS?

Hermes Agent runs on your self-managed VPS as a persistent AI agent server. Once deployed, Hermes Agent can connect to your preferred model provider and run commands from your self-managed VPS. It can use memory, support reusable skills and manage gateway workflows across sessions. You can also configure cron or long-running services to handle scheduled tasks in the background.


How do I deploy Hermes Agent on VPS?

Hermes Agent deployment on VPS usually involves preparing the server environment. It also entails installing required dependencies and configuring the Hermes Agent model provider. Lastly, you set up the gateway and run the agent as a long-running service. With Bluehost’s one-click installation option, you can move from signup to a running Hermes Agent in minutes instead of spending hours on manual setup. You still get self-managed VPS control to configure model providers, APIs, skills and gateway settings your way.


Can I run Hermes Agent 24/7 on VPS?

Yes. Running Hermes Agent 24/7 on VPS gives your agent a persistent runtime for recurring workflows, messaging gateway access and scheduled tasks. This is useful for developers who want Hermes Agent to stay available even when their local device is offline.


Can I scale AI agent workloads on Bluehost VPS?

Yes. You can add more power as your AI tasks, scheduled workflows, tool calling, API chaining or automation activity grows. Bluehost NVMe 2 also received an A grade for Performance Stability from VPSBenchmarks, which helps support workloads where consistent performance matters, such as memory indexing, gateway activity and long-running agent processes.


Does Hermes Agent support scheduled tasks?

Yes. Hermes Agent supports scheduled tasks through cron. This allows developers to run one-time or recurring tasks, attach skills and deliver outputs to local files or configured platforms. On VPS, these scheduled tasks can keep running in the background without depending on a personal device.


How do I secure Hermes Agent on VPS?

To secure Hermes Agent on VPS, limit server access, protect API keys, use strong authentication, keep packages updated, configure trusted model providers only and restrict access to workflow files. A self-managed VPS gives you more control over your private AI agent server and its security settings.


Do I need a GPU for Hermes Agent VPS hosting?

Not always. If you use hosted model providers or external endpoints, the VPS mainly runs Hermes Agent, gateway services, scheduled tasks, tools and workflow logic. A GPU becomes more relevant if you plan to run local LLM inference directly on the same server.


What kind of AI workflows can I run on Bluehost VPS?

You can run different self-hosted AI workflow styles on Bluehost VPS. Use Hermes Agent for persistent memory, reusable skills and scheduled tasks, or use OpenClaw for prompt pipelines, tool calling, API chaining and private AI orchestration.


What is the difference between Hermes Agent and OpenClaw?

Hermes Agent is better positioned as a persistent developer assistant with memory, skills, gateway workflows and scheduled tasks. OpenClaw is better positioned as a private AI workflow orchestration platform with prompt pipelines, tool calling, API chaining, memory systems and internal automation.


Which should I choose: Hermes Agent or OpenClaw?

Choose Hermes Agent if you want a persistent developer assistant with memory, skills, messaging access and scheduled tasks. Choose OpenClaw if you want private AI orchestration, prompt pipelines, tool calling, API chaining and repeatable team workflows. Both fit the self-hosted AI agent category, but they solve different needs.


Can Hermes Agent connect to OpenAI, OpenRouter or custom endpoints?

Yes. Hermes Agent can be configured with providers such as OpenAI, OpenRouter or a custom endpoint, depending on your setup. This makes Hermes Agent VPS hosting useful for developers who want model-provider flexibility while running their agent on a self-managed server.


Should I choose managed or unmanaged VPS for Hermes Agent?

Yes. Hermes Agent can be configured with providers such as OpenAI, OpenRouter or a custom endpoint, depending on your setup. This makes Hermes Agent VPS hosting useful for developers who want model-provider flexibility while running their agent on a self-managed server.
