VPS HOSTING FOR HERMES AGENT

Hermes Agent is an open-source AI assistant that can perform tasks, use tools, and develop new skills over time. Thanks to its persistent memory, it can retain information from previous interactions and reuse it to handle new requests.

You can use it to search for information, write code, automate tasks, and interact with external applications and services—including through messaging platforms like Telegram.

With Ergonet's Origin® VPS, you can install Hermes Agent with a single click and choose your own custom domain name—even if it's hosted externally. Once complete, the application will be ready for your first login, and you can begin configuring it.

Yes, Hermes Agent requires an AI model to understand requests and perform tasks. You can connect it to services such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini using an API key or, where supported, account-based access. The Origin® VPS hosts Hermes Agent and its tools, while the use of external AI models may incur additional costs charged by the provider you choose.

The choice depends on the tasks you want to assign to Hermes Agent and the tools you plan to use. An assistant that responds to messages and performs simple automations requires fewer resources than one that uses browsers, runs code, or handles multiple processes simultaneously. If you use external AI models, you can start with a VPS with limited resources and upgrade to a higher-tier plan as your needs grow.

The disk space on the VPS server includes approximately 5 GB used by the operating system files and the application installation and management service (Docker Manager).

The installation of Hermes Agent is automated, but the VPS server is self-managed and requires root access. System administration skills are necessary to manage the server, update applications, and make configuration changes, but you have the option to connect the VPS server to an AI service such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to simplify system administration. Day-to-day use of Nextcloud, on the other hand, is handled through a simple web interface and dedicated apps.

The VPS server does not automatically manage email accounts. Don't worry—at Ergonet, you'll find shared hosting and email services that you can easily integrate with your Origin® VPS and OpenClaw.

VPS Origin® includes weekly backups—retained for 14 days and performed every Sunday—of your entire VPS server (snapshot) and, consequently, of all the applications it contains. If you need more frequent backups, you can also add daily backups starting at just a few euros per month.

Backups are geographically distributed in a different data center from the one that hosts the VPS service. We host all our services exclusively in Italian Tier 4 data centers, the highest certification level currently available for a data center.

Of course! Origin® VPS servers are designed to host all the applications you need for your home or office. You'll have access to a catalog with over a thousand applications to choose from and install with a single click.

Every component of the VPS server (NVMe SSD drives and RAM) is redundant to prevent service disruptions. In the event of a major hardware failure affecting any of these components, replacement is guaranteed within 2 hours, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
