I self-hosted Ghost for almost a year via Ghost CLI and it was (1) expensive (2) stressful - especially dealing with potential DDOS attacks and with the newsletter company Mailgun who handles the newsletter part (and would throw me all kinds of random error messages).
Self-hosting Ghost means spending TWICE as much and investing extra hours every month in maintenance.
With Magic Pages I save money and Jannis and his team take care of all the maintenance and updates and respond immediately if I run into any issues.
Yes I don’t like Cloudflare but I wouldn’t go to these lengths just to avoid it.
and what will handle the breaking changes? and the release verification? what will update the database and the operating system, especially across major versions?
If you have your own server, I can write you a bash script for installing Ghost and updating it when you run the script.
What do you say?
I appreciate the kind offer @[email protected] but no thank you.

Aha. Then I understand your decision more :) Thank you for explaining.
