Why Opsily for Ghost
Hosting that respects your budget and your data.
Flat-Rate Pricing
One monthly plan covers everything. No per-member fees or surprise bills as your audience grows. Unlimited subscribers, unlimited newsletter sends, unlimited uploads. Scale your publication without scaling your hosting costs.
EU Data Residency
Your Ghost instance and subscriber data stay in German data centers. GDPR compliant by design. No global CDN routing or third-party processing. Your compliance story is simple: data never leaves the EU.
Automatic Everything
Opsily patches Ghost, manages backups, monitors uptime, and handles SSL certificates. You focus on writing. No maintenance scripts, no manual updates, no downtime deployments. If something breaks, we fix it.
Built for teams who need reliability
The Real Cost of Ghost Hosting
Self-hosting sounds cheap until you count the hidden costs. A $5 VPS is not $5 a month. It is $5 plus your time.
You update Ghost (time). You monitor uptime (time). You encrypt backups (complexity). You restore from failures (risk). One ransomware incident costs more than a year of managed hosting.
