Everything You Need for Publishing Success
Our managed platform is purpose-built for Ghost CMS hosting. From Node.js runtime management to SSL, backups, SMTP, and server security, we handle the heavy lifting.
Fully Managed Stack
We manage Node.js, MySQL, NGINX, and Ghost core updates. Security patches, dependency upgrades, and OS hardening happen automatically.
NVMe-Powered Speed
Ghost runs on enterprise NVMe SSDs with NGINX reverse proxy caching, giving publishers a stronger foundation for fast pages, efficient assets, and stronger Core Web Vitals.
Automatic Daily Backups
Full-site backups run daily for content, themes, images, and database data. Restore available backup points from the control panel.
Free SSL & Custom Domains
Every Ghost instance gets a free Let's Encrypt certificate auto-configured. Point any custom domain and SSL provisions instantly.
Built-in Mail Transport
Transactional emails and newsletters work out of the box. We configure SMTP relay so your membership emails and notifications always land.
24/7 Expert Support
Our Ghost-specialized engineers are available around the clock via ticket and live chat. Real help from real engineers, every time.
Your Ghost Instance, Fully Loaded
Every plan ships with a production-ready Ghost environment. We pre-configure Node.js, MySQL, NGINX, SMTP, SSL, and backups so you can start publishing from day one.
Why Go
Managed?
Self-hosting Ghost means managing Node.js versions, MySQL databases, NGINX configs, SMTP servers, SSL certificates, and server security yourself. Our managed platform removes that infrastructure complexity.
Security First
Every Ghost instance is hardened with firewall rules, fail2ban, automated certificate management, and OS-level security. No SSH access means a dramatically smaller attack surface for your publication.
Optimized for Ghost
Our stack is tuned specifically for Ghost with Node.js process management, MySQL query caching, and NGINX reverse proxy caching to support fast publication delivery.
Effortless Migrations
Moving from Ghost(Pro), WordPress, Substack, or another platform? Our migration team can assist with content, images, member data, DNS guidance, and email configuration.
