Why host Ghost here
Running in about a minute
Pick a plan, hit launch — Ghost comes up on its own subdomain with HTTPS already working. Add a custom domain whenever you like.
A real terminal, in the browser
Root shell into the container, live logs and CPU/RAM graphs — no SSH keys or local tooling needed.
Its own isolated box
One container per project on its own network, with hard CPU and memory ceilings — a noisy neighbour can't starve your app.
Pay per resource, not per tier
A small base fee plus the memory, CPU and storage you pick. Resize any time; the price follows the sliders.
Own your audience
Members, subscriptions and content live in your instance — export-free and platform-independent.
Ghost hosting FAQ
Why self-host Ghost instead of Ghost(Pro)?
Cost and control: a small self-hosted Ghost starts at CHF 5.90/mo versus Ghost(Pro)'s higher tiers, and your member data lives in your own instance. The trade-off is that you run updates yourself — which here is a one-click image update.
Can I use my own domain and newsletter?
Yes — connect your domain with automatic HTTPS, and configure Ghost's newsletter/SMTP settings with your mail provider of choice through environment variables.
What size plan does Ghost need?
1 GB RAM runs a typical blog comfortably. If you grow into heavy traffic or many members, resize the plan — no migration needed.
