Run self-hosted AI agents 24/7 without guessing at the infrastructure.
Agent Infra Guide focuses on the systems behind persistent AI agents: hosting, VPS infrastructure, deployment, recovery, GPU compute, local hardware, security, and operational cost.
Need a decision, not more research? Use the six-step kit to turn requirements, capacity, cost, and evidence into a defensible infrastructure recommendation.

Compare AI Agent Hosting, VPS, and Self-Hosted Infrastructure
Best AI Agent Hosting
Compare managed platforms, PaaS, VPS infrastructure, GPU cloud, and local deployment models for persistent AI agents.
Best VPS for AI Agents
Understand the infrastructure requirements that matter when an agent needs to run continuously and recover reliably.
Dedicated AI Server: Hardware and Costs
Compare dedicated GPU server configurations, dated provider prices, and monthly costs against VPS and GPU cloud options.
Qwen Hardware Requirements: RAM and VRAM
Check Qwen model-file sizes, memory planning by quantization, and AIG's measured Qwen2.5 results before choosing hardware.
GPU Cloud Providers and Pricing
Compare GPU rental providers by VRAM, regional availability, billing model and sourced prices—not headline hourly rates alone.
Best Self-Hosted AI Agents
Compare self-hosted agent approaches by infrastructure, persistence, maintenance, security, and operational control.
How to Run an AI Agent 24/7
Build the runtime around persistent state, queues, supervision, recovery, logs, backups, and least-privilege tool access.
AI Agent Hosting Cost Calculator
Estimate infrastructure costs using your own VPS, GPU, storage, bandwidth, managed-service, or local-hardware assumptions.
OpenClaw, Hermes, GPU Cloud, and Local AI Infrastructure
Deployment guidance for the self-hosted agent runtimes, the VPS and GPU infrastructure underneath them, and the MCP servers they call. Every page states what is documented, what is calculated, and what has not been tested yet.
