Managed Ghost Hosting

Managed Ghost hosting

Managed Ghost hosting for publishers who’d rather write.

Ghost is a fast, modern platform for blogs, newsletters and paid memberships — and self-hosting it means keeping Node, the CLI, email and SSL all happy. We run that layer so you keep 100% of your revenue and none of the upkeep.

A publishing platform built to make money, not just posts.

Ghost is a modern, elegant publishing platform with a distraction-free editor, built-in SEO, and native memberships and email newsletters. Self-hosting it means you own the audience and keep every dollar of subscription revenue — no platform cut. It also means owning the Node runtime, Ghost-CLI upgrades, the mail setup and TLS. Hand that to us and Ghost becomes what it should be: somewhere you just publish.

The Ghost upkeep you didn’t sign up for.

  • Node versions and Ghost-CLI upgrades. Ghost is particular about Node versions, and CLI upgrades occasionally need hand-holding. We keep the runtime on a supported version and run upgrades cleanly, with a backup first.
  • Email that actually delivers. Memberships and newsletters live or die on deliverability. We wire up transactional and bulk mail so signup emails and newsletters land in inboxes, not spam.
  • Database and content backups. Your members list and posts are the business. We back up the database and content off-box on a schedule so a bad deploy is a restore, not a disaster.
  • SSL, domains and themes. We handle certificates, custom domains and safe theme deploys, so a design change never takes the site offline.

Frequently asked questions

Do I keep my subscription revenue?

Yes — self-hosted Ghost has no platform cut, so 100% of membership and subscription revenue is yours (minus your payment processor’s normal fees). You own the members list outright.

Can I send newsletters to my members?

Yes. We set up mail delivery so Ghost’s native newsletters and membership emails send reliably to your subscribers.

Who handles Ghost and Node updates?

We do — we keep Node on a supported version and run Ghost-CLI upgrades with a backup taken first, so an update never leaves your site down.

Can I use a custom theme and domain?

Yes — bring any Ghost theme and your own domain; we handle deploys, TLS and DNS pointing.

Do you migrate my existing Ghost site?

Yes — and we don’t charge for it. Contact us and we’ll migrate your existing Ghost posts, members and settings across for free.
