Isolated containers, one-click upgrades with rollback, nightly backups and a page cache in front of Ghost.
Three things we actually run on your behalf.
No mystery layer. This is the whole stack behind your site.
What each one actually is, including where it stops. We would rather you knew before buying than found out after.
Everything below is available today, on the plans as sold.
The complete Ghost Content and Admin API, because this is real Ghost. Build a headless front end, script your publishing, or integrate anything you like.
Connect a repository and every push is installed and activated on your site automatically. Available as an add-on on any plan.
Ghost's built-in roles — contributor, author, editor and administrator — so a team can work on one publication without sharing a login.
Run up to ten blogs on a single plan, each fully isolated — and add more individually rather than jumping a tier when you need one extra.
How your site is actually run — and, at the end, what we deliberately do not promise.
Not a folder on a shared server. Your Ghost process, your database and your files are separated from every other customer at the kernel level, with limits that stop one busy site starving another.
Archives are written outside your container so a broken site does not take its own backups with it, and retention depends on your plan. They are stored on the same host, so treat them as protection against a mistake rather than against hardware loss.
A backup is taken before a Ghost upgrade, the site is verified afterwards, and the code rolls back if it does not come up. Database migrations are one-way, so the pre-upgrade archive is the real safety net.
We target 99.9% uptime, which allows for roughly 43 minutes of unavailability in a month. That is a target we run the platform against, not a contractual SLA with service credits attached — planned maintenance is excluded, and we would rather state the distinction than let you assume compensation that is not on offer.
Two other limits worth knowing: backups are not off-site yet, so treat them as protection against a mistake rather than against hardware loss, and the firewall add-on is request filtering rather than DDoS protection. All of this is written the same way in our terms.
