Cloudflare check. Yak.
Thank you for bringing this up! This is Elena, the author of the blog https://blog.elenarossini.com/.
My Ghost blog is being hosted by Magic Pages... when I signed up last year they had a fully European stack (Bunny CDN) - something that is incredibly important to me.
Recently they moved from BunnyCDN to Cloudflare to keep costs down (prices had skyrocketed). I have no saying in this, but I understand Jannis and his team.
Magic Pages takes care of all the software updates and offers amazing support (plus it would cost me 2x to self-host it... I made the calculations).
And for the record, my personal website - which I self-host - uses BunnyCDN: elenarossini.com
Thank you for your reply. But if you can self-host your personal website, why don't you self-host Ghost?
Because Ghost now requires Docker and it’s way beyond my scope of expertise (I used to self-host a previous version with Ghost CLI - it will be sunset in the next version).
Ghost is also expensive to self-host, especially the newsletter part. Magic Pages does all the maintenance and updates for me for the price of what I used to pay just for the newsletter integration… and I don’t have to worry about a thing 🥲
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?
and what will handle the breaking changes? and the release verification? what will update the database and the operating system, especially across major versions?
