DigitalOcean
the only one-click on this list that arrives already hardened, built and maintained by the provider itself.
the safest default in the category by a clear margin — you pay roughly double the cheap boxes for a deployment that isn't exposed the moment it boots.
the marketplace image does the things the february incident proved people don't do themselves: fail2ban blocking abusive requests, unattended-upgrades patching the os without being asked, caddy terminating tls with a real certificate, agents isolated in containers, and access gated behind a gateway key plus an explicit device-pairing step. digitalocean maintains it in-house rather than shipping a community package.
it also sells the surrounding commitment. there is a dedicated 'ai agents' marketplace category — openclaw sits in it as a staff pick alongside opencode and zeroclaw — which tells you this is a supported product line rather than a listing somebody uploaded and forgot.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.

OVHcloud
we checked this$5.35/mono one-click at all, and still the second-safest way to run this — because the official guide binds the gateway to the local network.
Hostinger
we checked this$6.49/moa real managed openclaw from a real company — that won't tell you what the managed plan costs.
