VPS: your server in the sky
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is simply a VM you rent in someone's datacenter — typically ~$5/month for 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM.
Why it matters for agents: a VPS is always on, has a public IP, and is not your laptop. It's where NetworkChuck runs Hermes and OpenClaw in every video, and where always-on agents belong.
