GhostArch Hosting for Ghost authors
Log in Get Started

Launch & Grow Your Ghost Blog with Seamless, Fast, & Managed Hosting.

Every blog gets its own private container running Ghost, its own Node runtime and its own MySQL 8 database — published, secured with HTTPS, and live in about a minute.

No card required to create an account. Bring a domain you already own.

Questions Worth Answering Honestly

Do I need my own domain?

Yes. We don't hand out subdomains on this platform, so you'll need a domain you control. Point an A record at 163.223.52.197 and we take it from there.

How long does setup take?

About a minute once your DNS resolves to us. We launch the container, install Ghost, write the web server config and issue your certificate — you watch each step happen.

Can my blog send email to members?

Not yet. There's no outbound mail configured on this platform, so Ghost's newsletter and member sign-in emails won't deliver. Publishing, themes and the admin panel all work normally. If your blog depends on newsletters, this isn't the right host for it today.

What happens to my content if I stop paying?

Nothing is deleted. After the grace period your site goes into maintenance mode and comes straight back when the invoice is settled. We never delete a blog for non-payment.

Where do backups live?

Archives are written outside your container on the host, and how many we keep depends on your plan. They are not currently copied off-site, so treat them as protection against a mistake in your blog rather than against a datacentre failure.
