The agent
What is Hermes Agent?
An open-source AI agent built by Nous Research that lives on your server and works while you do something else.
#01
Multi-channel
Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, email or terminal: talk to your agent wherever you already are.
#02
Persistent memory
It remembers your projects, your preferences and the solutions it already found, from one session to the next.
#03
Scheduled automations
Describe a recurring task in plain language: it schedules it and runs it on its own, right on time.
#04
Parallel subagents
It delegates work to isolated subagents so several tasks can run at the same time.
#05
Web search and browsing
Search, read pages and extract information straight from your server.
#06
Sandboxed environment
Experiments run in an isolated sandbox, without touching the rest of your system.
The hosting

A useful agent is one you can always reach. On a VPS it no longer depends on your own machine.
Available 24/7
Your scheduled automations fire on time, at night, even with your computer switched off.
Guaranteed resources
Dedicated vCores, RAM and storage: subagents and web browsing never slow your workstation down.
Dedicated IP in France
A dedicated IPv4 and an IPv6 in a French datacentre. Your webhooks and channels stay reachable.

FAQ - Hermes VPS
The most common questions about hosting Hermes Agent.
No. Hermes Agent is MIT-licensed open-source software and we charge no premium for preinstalling it. You pay exactly the price of our SSD Linux VPS.
No. Hermes needs access to a model: either a Nous Portal subscription or your own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or a custom endpoint). That cost is separate from hosting and stays on your side.
A VPS-2 (2 GB) is enough for a single agent on one or two channels. Plan for 8 GB as soon as you run subagents in parallel or browse the web, and 16 GB for heavy sandboxed use.
Yes, installation is a single command and works across our whole range (Linux Intel, Ryzen, Storage). The Hermes VPS page simply exists to hand you a machine that is already set up.
Yes. The agent runs as a system service (systemd): it keeps handling your channels and scheduled automations after your SSH session is closed.
Yes, root access is complete. You can change the Hermes configuration, add your own tools, switch models or reinstall the system whenever you like.
Yes, all our VPS are commitment-free. You can cancel from your client area at any time, with no fee and no justification.
Hosting Hermes Agent on a VPS: what you need to know
Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent released by Nous Research under the MIT licence. It connects to your messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, email), keeps a persistent memory of your projects, schedules automations and delegates tasks to isolated subagents. Its strength comes from continuity: the longer it runs, the more of your context it knows.
That is exactly why a VPS is the right home for it. On a personal computer the agent stops at every sleep cycle and misses its scheduled tasks. On a YorkHost SSD Linux VPS it stays reachable at all times, with guaranteed resources, a dedicated French IPv4, 7-day rolling backups and Anti-DDoS protection included.
Our Hermes VPS are our regular Intel SSD Linux VPS, delivered with the agent already installed along with its dependencies (Python 3.11, Node.js, ripgrep, ffmpeg). The preinstall costs nothing extra: it simply saves you the setup step. All that is left is adding your model access and connecting your channels.
Hermes Agent is an open-source project (MIT licence) by Nous Research. YorkHost is neither affiliated with nor sponsored by Nous Research: we provide the hosting and the preinstall. Model subscriptions and credits must be purchased from the provider of your choice.
