When to Use a VPS or Cloud Server?
A VPS or cloud server is the right choice if you need your agent to be always online, reachable from anywhere, and capable of receiving webhooks from external services. It is the most common production setup and works well for personal assistants, team automation, and any workflow that requires continuous availability. It is not a good fit if you want to avoid recurring costs, prefer to keep everything on hardware you physically own, or want to run local models via Ollama without paying for a powerful enough remote machine.
