    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?
