Hostinger made OpenClaw and Hermes easy to buy. Read the price line twice, though: the low monthly figure is paid two years upfront, and it renews higher. Faivelo runs both for $9 a month, cancel any month, on a box whose size we tell you.
What Hostinger's price really means
Hostinger's managed OpenClaw page shows $4.99 a month. Under it: today you pay $119.76 for 24 months, and it renews at $11.99 a month for the same term. All plans are paid upfront. Managed Hermes Agent has the same price and the same terms.
That is a fair deal if you know you want an agent for two years. Most people buying their first agent do not. They want to try it for a month, see if it earns its keep, and stop paying if it does not.
| Hostinger managed | Faivelo | |
|---|---|---|
| First payment | $119.76 for 24 months | $9 for one month |
| After that | Renews at $11.99 a month, 24 months upfront | $9 a month |
| Commitment | The whole term, paid upfront | None; cancel any month |
| Machine | Not listed; an isolated environment | A box of its own: 1 CPU, 2 GB memory, 20 GB disk |
| Email for the agent | Agentic email pre-configured | A full mailbox on your domain, or a free address from us |
| Hermes chat apps | Telegram pairing built in | WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Slack already linked |
| Model | AI credits from Hostinger, or your own key | Your own key, paid to the provider at its price |
To be straight about it: if you pay upfront, Hostinger costs less for the first two years. From the renewal on, it costs more than we do, and you are again asked for two years at once.
Where Faivelo is the better buy
You know what you are running on. Every Faivelo box is a machine of its own with 1 CPU, 2 GB of memory and 20 GB of disk. That is the size OpenClaw's own docs recommend. If it fills up, move to 2 CPUs and 4 GB for $18 from its page. Hostinger's managed pages do not list CPU or memory at all.
Your agent's email comes from an email company. Email hosting is what Faivelo started as. The agent's mailbox is a real one: you can open it in webmail or on your phone and read everything it sent. It can sit on your own domain, with the DNS records written for you on most hosts, or on a free address we give you on day one.
Hermes arrives already talking. WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and Slack are linked through Faivelo's own apps, so there is no bot to register. Hermes' email gateway is set up too, with only you on its allowed list.
Try your agent for a month. Do not buy two years of it on day one.
Your model, your bill
Hostinger sells AI credits through its dashboard, and you can bring your own key instead. On Faivelo you always bring your own key, from OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or xAI, and it is stored encrypted. We never call a model on your behalf, so there is no credit price on top. You pay the provider directly, and Hermes' usage tab shows what each session cost.
When Hostinger is the right call
If you are sure you want an agent for two years and the lowest upfront total matters most, take Hostinger's deal. The same goes if you want a raw server. Its OpenClaw VPS starts with 4 GB of memory for $6.49 a month on a 24-month prepay, and you look after it yourself.
If you would rather start small and keep the right to leave, start with OpenClaw or Hermes on Faivelo. Not sure which agent? OpenClaw vs Hermes Agent sets them side by side.
One month, not twenty-four
