I have been wanting to run my own Ghost but unsure of setting up and the expense of the 3rd party email server that's required. Also, needing a VPS is an added expense beyond my current shared hosting account.

@MichaelBishop@mastodon.world I run my personal blog for a bit less than $5/month, $3-$4/month goes to Pikapods https://www.pikapods.com which I would highly recommend for Ghost hosting unless you like Linux and want to DIY, and $0-$1/month for Mailgun’s Flex Plan. Pikapods is slightly more technical than just turnkey Ghost hosting like ghost.org or other providers offer, but you don’t really need to worry about maintenance/updates after setting it up which is the main reason I recommend it.
