Question 1

How do I migrate from Ghost(Pro) to Opsily?

Accepted Answer

Opsily provides a guided migration wizard that handles the entire process automatically. You connect your Ghost(Pro) domain or self-hosted URL, and we scan and validate your site. Then, we deploy a complete copy of your posts, members, settings, theme, and integrations to Opsily's infrastructure, all in 3 minutes. Your site stays live the entire time, with zero downtime. After migration completes, simply update your DNS to point to Opsily's nameservers or add a CNAME record, and you're done. Your domain, your branding, your data, all preserved.

Question 2

What is the difference between Opsily and Ghost(Pro)?

Accepted Answer

Both host Ghost CMS, but the pricing model is fundamentally different. Ghost(Pro) charges by tier: Starter ($18/mo), Publisher ($29/mo), and Business ($199/mo). The Business tier kicks in at 10,001 members. Opsily charges flat-rate: Small ($20/mo), Medium ($40/mo), Large ($70/mo), and Unlimited ($100/mo), regardless of member count. You can host 100,000+ members on Opsily's Medium plan for $40/mo. Additionally, Opsily gives you full database access, EU data residency, and no feature gatekeeping. Ghost(Pro) restricts database access and is US-based. The savings and freedom compound as you scale.

Question 3

How much can I save switching from Ghost(Pro) to Opsily?

Accepted Answer

If your publication has 10,000+ members, Ghost(Pro) requires the Business plan at $199/month, costing $2,388/year. Opsily's Large plan is $70/month ($840/year), saving you $1,548 annually. If you have 50,000 members, Ghost(Pro) still costs $199/mo, but you're handling significantly more volume. The Medium plan ($40/mo or $480/year) handles that scale at Opsily, saving you $1,908/year. The more your publication grows, the more you save.

Question 4

Is my data safe and private on Opsily?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Opsily hosts Ghost on German data centers subject to strict GDPR compliance, meaning your readers' data stays in the EU and never touches US servers subject to surveillance laws. We perform daily automated encrypted backups stored securely off-site, so you can recover any version instantly if needed. We maintain a 99.9% uptime SLA, meaning your newsletter platform is live when your readers expect it. Ghost is MIT open-source with full source code transparency, so there are no hidden vulnerabilities or proprietary lock-ins. You can export your entire site anytime and move to another host if you choose.

Question 5

Can I use custom Ghost themes with Opsily?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Opsily supports all Ghost themes: marketplace themes, premium themes, and custom-built themes. You can upload, install, and edit themes directly without restrictions. All plans include full access to the Ghost theme editor and the Content API for building custom frontends. Unlike Ghost(Pro), which gates some theme features by plan tier, Opsily includes the complete Ghost feature set on every plan. If you want to design a custom theme or hire a developer to build one, you have full flexibility.

Question 6

What integrations and automations are included?

Accepted Answer

All Opsily plans include Ghost's native integrations: Zapier, n8n, Slack, YouTube, Unsplash, and more. You can also use the Content API to build custom integrations directly with your CRM, analytics tools, or other services. Because Opsily provides full database access, you can query and automate your data without API restrictions. Ghost(Pro) limits API access on lower tiers and requires upgrades for advanced automation. With Opsily, every plan has complete access to automation tools from day one.

Question 7

Can I use my own domain with ghost webhosting on Opsily?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. You keep your domain name and your brand identity. Simply point your domain's DNS to Opsily's nameservers or add a CNAME record. SSL certificates are automatic and renew without any action from you. Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) is configured for you, ensuring your newsletters reach inboxes reliably. Your readers see your domain, your branding, and your newsletter as always. Opsily is invisible infrastructure.

Question 8

What if I want to leave Opsily later?

Accepted Answer

You can export your entire Ghost instance anytime. All your posts, pages, members, settings, and theme are yours to take. Ghost is open-source with MIT licensing, so you're not locked into any proprietary format. You can migrate to another host, run Ghost on your own server, or return to Ghost(Pro), the choice is always yours. We make it easy to leave because we're confident in the value we provide. No lock-in. No surprise restrictions. Your data, your future.
