I've never understood the pricing of ghost. I started a personal blog and my first post got almost 50k uniques when it got to the top of /r/programming and the front page of hacker news.
So the pricing model of ghost is problematic because:
1) I don't know what level of plan to buy to support this kind of traffic.
2) $19/mo seems really expensive for a personal blog. (and wouldn't support my traffic load)
3) A $5 instance at DO handled the load really well with room to spare and conservatively took about an hour to setup.
So, I guess I'm not their target customer? I want to pay around $10/mo for a hosted blog and support like 500k uniques. There are some wordpress hosts that handle this level of traffic at this price point I think.
