Hermes Agent VPS hosting.

Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in your dashboard and pick Hermes Agent. Coolify deploys the container, mounts persistent storage for memory and skills and gives you a web interface for updates and environment variables. Then add your model provider's API key and, if you like, a Telegram or Discord bot token. Read the One-Click Apps guide

• One-click deploy through Coolify-based One-Click Apps
• Manual install via SSH and Docker stays possible with root access

Hermes Agent itself is free, open-source software under the MIT license. Running it costs two things: your VPS plan, billed by ZAP-Hosting at the live price shown in the pricing section, and model tokens, billed by the AI provider you connect. Local Ollama models avoid token costs but need a larger plan.

• Software: free and MIT-licensed
• Hosting: your VPS plan, cancel anytime
• Model usage: billed by your AI provider

It depends on what the agent does. A chat agent that calls cloud models through an API runs well on a small plan, and 2–4 GB RAM is a common starting point. Browser automation with headless Chromium, several agents on one server or local Ollama models need noticeably more RAM and CPU.

• API-model chat agent: entry plan
• Browser automation: mid-size plan
• Several agents or local models: larger plan

Yes. The agent runs on your VPS, not on your PC, so scheduled jobs, memory and messaging gateways stay online when your laptop is closed. You choose the data center from our locations in Europe and America; pick the one closest to you or your team. Many North American users start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.

• Gateways and cron jobs keep running around the clock
• Locations in Europe and America to choose from

Yes. Hermes Agent includes a messaging gateway for Telegram, Discord, Slack and other platforms. Create a bot token on the platform, add it to the agent's environment variables in Coolify and restrict access to your own user IDs. The same agent and memory then answer in every connected chat.

• One agent, several chat platforms
• Allowlist your own accounts only

Yes, you get full root access over SSH on your own KVM VPS. The agent runs separately from your personal computer on a DDoS-protected network. We recommend running it as a non-root user, logging in with SSH keys, keeping API keys in environment variables and allowing only your own accounts in chat gateways. Set up SSH keys in the Help Center

• KVM virtualization with root and SSH
• Firewall and SSH keys under your control

Your agent's memory, skills and settings live in persistent storage on the VPS. With ZapX Pass you can create, restore and download VPS Backups in the dashboard. With root access you can also copy the Hermes data folder to another location yourself, for example with rsync over SSH. Learn how Backups work

• Backup and restore in the dashboard with ZapX Pass
• Own Backups via rsync or scripts with root access

Yes. VPS plans scale by RAM, CPU and NVMe storage, so you can move to a larger package when your agent takes on browser automation, more gateways or a second app like n8n or OpenClaw on the same server.

• Scale RAM, CPU and storage as needed
• Room for more One-Click Apps on the same server
