FAQ
How much will it cost to run the site after you finish?
By self-hosting, your costs are significantly lower than Ghost(Pro). You will typically pay less month for a VPS (like DigitalOcean) and a small fee for Mailgun based on the number of emails you send. This saves you hundreds per year.
Do I need to be a "tech person" to manage this?
Not at all. Once I finish the setup, the Ghost dashboard is incredibly user-friendly. You will write, edit, and manage members just like you would on Substack or WordPress. I handle all the scary "server stuff" during setup.
Why do I need a Mailgun account?
Ghost uses Mailgun to ensure your newsletters actually reach your subscribers' inboxes. Without it, your emails would likely go to spam. I will handle the technical API integration for you.
Can I move my content from WordPress or Substack later?
Yes! Ghost has built-in migration tools. If you have an existing audience or posts, let me know, and we can discuss a custom migration as part of the project.
Is the site easy to update?
Yes. I perform a "standard" install, which means you can update Ghost with a single command. I provide a brief guide on how to keep your site current and secure.
