Frequently Asked Questions
The Ghost software itself is free and open source. However, you still need a server to run it on. While you can try to run it on a cheap 5 dollar VPS, you will quickly run into performance issues and maintenance headaches. Opsily provides a managed environment where we handle the server work for a flat fee. This is significantly cheaper than SaaS plans as your subscriber count grows.
