Key Takeaways

  • One-click deployment removes API key setup barrier for non-technical users
  • Prepaid nexos.ai credits work across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini models
  • OpenClaw is the most popular app in Hostinger's 260-app Docker catalog

What changed

Hostinger integrated nexos.ai credits directly into OpenClaw installations on its VPS platform. Previously, users hit an API key prompt during setup that stopped non-developers. Now the API connection is pre-configured when credits are added through hPanel.

Why it matters for buyers

OpenClaw runs always-on AI assistants in WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, and other tools. The new bundled credits approach means you can deploy customer support bots, automation agents, or browser-control tools without understanding API infrastructure. Credits function as prepaid balance, don't expire, and only deplete when models run.

  • Switch between Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini inside OpenClaw to balance cost and performance
  • Bring your own API keys if you prefer manual setup over bundled credits
  • VPS hosting provides dedicated resources and public IP for 24/7 agent availability

Context

OpenClaw sees tens of thousands of deployments weekly and ranks as the most popular app in Hostinger's Docker catalog. The VPS foundation includes Kodee, an AI assistant that handles server management tasks like container orchestration, firewall configuration, and performance monitoring through natural language commands in over 50 languages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do nexos.ai credits expire?
