Why Choose Ghost Host?
We are redefining what is essential for web hosting. Security, privacy, and performance are non-negotiable. Seamless developer experiences and instant deployments should always be the norm.
If you’re reading this article, you’ve likely developed and deployed websites before. You’ve likely used multiple web hosts, which yielded you mixed results. Or, maybe you are new to web hosting and just value security and privacy as much as we do.
Whoever you may be, this article is for you if you’re considering where to host your websites and domains.
Selecting the right web host
You might be someone who rolls your own infrastructure or someone who leaves that to your web host. Both approaches, with currently available solutions, come at a cost.
Rolling your own infrastructure. This can be timely, expensive, and challenging to scale.
Relying on your web host. The combination of quality features, developer experience, and transparent prices are seldom found with currently available solutions.
Well, we’ve built Ghost Host to offer that roll-your-own, high-quality, web hosting and domain infrastructure for less. All of your websites and domains come pre-provisioned with expert-crafted security, performance, and privacy features. The best part about it: there’s next-to-no setup. You’ll be able to deploy your websites and web apps instantly.
We wanted a web host that treats us like a partner, not a product. That values security as much as we do. That believes privacy is a fundamental human right. That delivers quality and reliability for everyday prices. —Micah Henning, Co-Founder
What you get with Ghost Host
All of our customers get the exact same features as their neighbors. What is not shared with your neighbors, however, are hardware bottlenecks and your private information.
When you join Ghost Host, you can rest assured that your data is protected, your information is private, and your websites couldn’t be faster. The best part about it is that there are no hidden fees, no contracts, and no upsells when accessing all available features.
99.9% uptime is available on our self-healing and fully redundant infrastructure. Sites are stored at 400+ CDN locations.
Easily deploy with a git push ghosthost and a click in the app to deploy or roll back changes without friction.
Certificates are automatically generated, updated, and monitored for your websites.
Ghost Host websites are protected from malicious traffic surges and attacks.
Domains at outside registrars can be configured to point to your websites.
Navigate cross-organization when managing websites and domains.
Payment information is never stored at Ghost Host, only through our payment partner, Stripe, whose data collection is minimal. We will never place tracking on our customers' websites.
You’ll always know exactly what your websites will cost you. $20/mo or $220/yr. You will not pay additionally for usage. (Some rare exceptions apply.) Domain registration is priced competitively.
The hardest work is done, and we’re now hyper-focused on rapid expansion and hardening of domains and websites. Actively, we are working on domain registration, unlimited member seats, and advanced security features.
The best part is that as new features are rolled out, you get them right away for the same price! You can see more about the currently available features on the pricing page.
Mission to secure the web
We decided our websites and web apps should always measure up with our expert expectations. In doing so, it became clear that we should share this very same approach with the world.
Ghost Host leadership has a combined experience of over 35 years in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and web development. During this time, we’ve experienced the best and worst of hosting. We’ve experienced the painstaking involvement to perfect our own infrastructure. And we certainly have experienced friction in hosting, preventing us from getting back to what we love—building websites and apps.
Our promise is to keep the bar of quality moving up for both our own resources and the resources of Ghost Host customers. We, ourselves, host all of our projects with Ghost Host.
Ghost Host is self-funded and sustained by its customers alone. That means our mission is incorruptible and will not falter.
Not sure if Ghost Host is for you?
We’ve designed Ghost Host to work for most websites online. If you’re not sure if your current build can work on Ghost Host, contact support@ghosthost.app, and we’ll be happy to discuss with you how your website can work on the Ghost Host platform.
You may see Ghost Host is still in Beta. This will remain true until we’ve implemented every security, performance, and privacy feature we’ve deemed essential. So join us on the journey! And, in the meantime, rest assured that currently available features match and exceed solutions you may find elsewhere.
If you’re looking to see the application in action, you can view the Live Demo or review the Getting Started Guide.
