Looking into maybe switching to Ghost Pro. I currently have https://thread-pool.com/ self-hosted with Digital Ocean and had the email newsletter thingie setup with Mailgun. But I shut that off because it got pricey for me quickly. The problem I see though is that to get paid subscription integration you need to go with the 30 dollars a month publisher plan.
Should I just stay with the self-hosting or should I move to Ghost(Pro).
Ghost CMS en auto-hébergement, c'est tout de même nettement moins simple que Wordpress (installation et mise à jour). C'est sans doute pour ça que @jannisfedorukbetschki a créé Magic Pages, un service d'hébergement de Ghost CMS.

ok, omg, the infrastructure is pretty much done. A bit of automation, a proper cms, a crosspost tool, salt, pepper. Still lacking design and content : on its way ! Work work work.
Wrote my own static site builder to migrate away from #ghostCMS and it feels so good to be off it!
Going to run it for a while and work on open sourcing it :)
Tadam ! 25 ans jour pour jour après la mise en ligne de mon site web, je lance une newsletter pour accompagner le grand changement qui s'annonce : Petits Cailloux ! Une nouvelle expérience, avec un nouvel outil (Ghost), à une nouvelle adresse. Stay tuned ! (et abonnez-vous si le 
vous en dit...) https://petitscailloux.yarienla.com/bientot-ici-et-chez-toi/

Cool. Look at the growth in #GhostCMS websites joining the open social web - these are new #Activtypub users. Ghost does support bridging to #Bluesky too, curious what those numbers look like.

My blog hit the Hacker News front page overnight
For my standards, that’s huge.
At peak: 3.1k visitors/hour.
Luckily, my stack held up:
#Docker + #Traefik on a quad-core ARM
#Cloudflare cache (87% hit ratio)
Proper DNS and no outages 
Now hoping the U.S. wake-up wave doesn't crash it

I find it unfortunate that all those Ghost accounts use @index in their account name. Often you don't see what the server is in your Mastodon client and then one index is not the other.
Eg @index@www.404media.co @index@activitypub.ghost.org or @index@forbetter.ghost.io... all @index.
Other than that, really great that ActivityPub integration in #ghostcms!
A question for all the #selfhosting enthusiasts and #sysadmins out there:
I had a Go site on a VPS and recently decided to migrate to self-hosting Ghost on a Digital Ocean VPS (I was using Oracle before) and my site has become basically inaccessible. I checked the RAM usage in my admin and it's consistently above 90%. I have 1GB ram and figured I wouldn't need more since I don't get much traffic, but now everytime I try to open my site it takes forever to load.
What I don't understand is that, on the Oracle VPS, I not only had my Go site, but also had Caddy, Plausible for analytics with a #postgres DB and never had any issues. Now, all I have is the ghost site, mariadb, and caddy and nothing works.
Do I need more RAM or is this a DO thing? Both the Oracle and DO VPSes are hosted in the EU which is pretty far from here, to be fair. I do suspect it's a RAM issue because I can't even ssh into the VPS. When I try to open my site, the connection just loads until it eventually times out.
EDIT: adding the link in case someone wants to check it out, could just be my distance from the server
This is super exciting, and I look forward to having my blog be fully federated this year!
