GhostA blogging and newsletter platform with paid subscriptions
Ghost is a publishing and newsletter platform with paid subscriptions: a clean editor, member emails, memberships and payments in one place. Posts and newsletters no longer live in separate services.
On your own server the subscriber list stays with you, and the theme, integrations and domain are configured for the project without the constraints of a hosted plan.
A clean writing interface with markdown and live preview.
Email your subscribers without third-party services.
Monetise through Stripe with no plugins involved.
Lightweight themes and strong Core Web Vitals by default.
Installation is free — you only pay for the server
Pick a plan with some headroom over the minimum requirements above.
Select Ghost from the list of ready templates at checkout — installation is included.
We email the panel address, login and password — usually within 5 minutes.
Ghost Cloud | Self-hosted on LeneexRecommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | The vendor plan: the bill grows with your usage. | Minex — €4.00 a month for the server, with no per-task or per-seat fees. |
| Where the data lives | On the vendor servers, under vendor rules. | On your VPS: root access and keys stay with you. |
| Limits | Plan quotas — on volume and on features. | Bounded by the server: 1 vCPU and 1 GB of RAM. |
| Customisation | Only what the vendor allows. | Your own code, plugins and integrations, no approvals. |
| Updates | Applied automatically, on the vendor schedule. | You install them when it suits you. |
| Time to start | Right after signing up. | About 5 minutes — the image and initial setup are on us. |
| Who it fits | You do not want a server to administer. | You want control over the data and a predictable bill. |

Ghost runs via Ghost-CLI behind Nginx, the MySQL database is created, and a systemd unit brings the site back up after a reboot.
The admin panel lives at /ghost — that is where the site owner account is created.
