As AI becomes integral to business operations, the question of where and how to deploy these systems matters more than ever.
The Case for Self-Hosting
1. Data Sovereignty
With OpenClaw Cloud's self-hosted architecture, your conversation data never leaves your infrastructure. This is critical for:
- **Healthcare** - HIPAA compliance requires control over patient data
- **Finance** - Regulatory requirements for data residency
- **Government** - Security clearance and data classification requirements
- **Any business** that values customer privacy
2. Complete Control
Self-hosting gives you:
- Full access to your server and data
- Ability to run local AI models via Ollama
- Custom configurations and integrations
- No vendor lock-in
3. Cost Predictability
Cloud services charge per API call or message. With self-hosting:
- Fixed infrastructure costs
- Run local models to eliminate API fees
- Scale without surprise bills
