$8.79/mo

Run Claude Code on a server that never sleeps, with the real price.

A server keeps Claude Code working when your laptop is closed. An 8 GB one from Hostinger is $8.79 a month today. You pay $210.96 up front for 24 months, and you have 30 days to get your money back. You may not need one at all, and that answer is on this page too.

The short answer

Claude Code on your laptop stops when the laptop sleeps. There are two ways to keep it working.

The first costs nothing extra. Anthropic runs Claude Code in its own cloud at claude.ai/code. Its docs say a cloud session keeps running after you close your laptop, and there is no separate charge for it on a paid Claude plan.

The second is your own server. It never times out, and your files, tools and logins stay in one place that you control. Hostinger deploys Claude Code on a server in one click.

First, check if Anthropic's cloud is enough

This option pays us nothing. These facts come from Anthropic's docs, read on November 11, 2026.

  • It keeps working with your laptop closed

    A cloud session runs on computers Anthropic manages. You can check on it or steer it from your phone or any browser.

  • There is no server bill

    The docs say there is no separate charge for the cloud computer. It counts toward the usage limits of your Claude plan. Cloud sessions are on the Pro, Max, Ultra and Team plans.

  • Your code needs to be on GitHub

    A cloud session copies your code from GitHub and pushes its work back there. Other code hosts work only in a limited way.

  • It stops when it sits idle

    Cloud sessions stop after a period of inactivity. Your conversation is kept, but work that was still running in the background is not.

Get your own server when

A server is more work. It is worth it in these cases.

  • You want it on all the time

    A server does not stop when a task goes quiet. Long jobs and background tools keep running until you stop them.

  • You want one home for everything

    Your files, tools and logins live on one machine. Nothing is rebuilt between sessions.

  • Your code is not on GitHub

    On your own server Claude Code works with whatever you put there.

  • You want to reach it from your phone

    Anthropic's Remote Control feature lets you steer a session on your own machine from the Claude app or a browser. Hostinger's page describes using it with its servers.

Three things to know before you pay

  1. The monthly price is paid all at once

    "$8.79 a month" sounds like $8.79 today. It is $210.96 today, because the low price only comes with a 24-month plan. Hostinger gives you 30 days to ask for your money back.

  2. The price goes up when the plan renews

    After 24 months the 8 GB server renews at $14.99 a month and the 4 GB one at $11.99. Put a reminder in your calendar for month 23 so you can decide before the renewal hits.

  3. Claude is a separate bill

    The server only keeps Claude Code running. You still pay Anthropic for Claude, through a Claude plan or an API key. You are also the admin, so updates and security are yours.
