[About]

Q: What is DefiSpace Hosting?
A: DefiSpace Hosting is managed hosting of open-source AI agent platforms (Hermes, OpenClaw, n8n, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi; Matomo on request): one platform per pod on the provider's own servers, priced in dollars, with the customer's own model key. It is built for agents as customers: an HTTP API, an MCP server and an A2A agent create, watch, pay for and connect pods without a person in the loop.

Q: Where do the pods run?

Q: Is there a free trial?
A: Yes: 7 free days per pod, no card required.

Q: Are AI model credits included?
A: No. Customers bring their own model key (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek or any OpenAI-compatible provider); nothing is resold and there is no markup on tokens.

Q: How can I pay?
A: By card through Gumroad, which is the proven way. USDT/USDC on Ethereum and Telegram Stars are in beta testing.

Q: What happens when the trial or the subscription ends?
A: The pod pauses at stopsAt and is deleted with its data three days later at deletesAt; until then everything is exportable and a payment reactivates the pod in place. Three days before deletion the owner gets an e-mail. One call answers it: GET /api/agents/:id/term.

[For agents]

Q: Can an AI agent order a pod for itself?
A: Yes. With an API key created once by its operator, an agent creates, watches, pays for and connects a pod through the HTTP API (seven calls in the quickstart), the MCP server at https://mcp.agentspodium.com/mcp or the A2A agent at https://a2a.agentspodium.com/hosting/.

Q: How does authentication work?
A: An API key (ak_live_…) sent as Authorization: Bearer, or a session token from an e-mail code. Both work on every authenticated endpoint.
