Ghost 3.0 - Hackdot

I self host on a $5/month VPS and it works fine. Granted, I don't really have much traffic, but it sounds like you don't either.

Not much traffic, no. But "spend as little time administrating it as possible" was a goal that had me looking into managed options.

Hugo + Netlify is working well, some up-front work in the setup since I didn't want to use a premade Hugo theme, but when I update anything it just takes two commands to rebuild and upload:

    hugo
    netlify deploy --prod

I'll eventually simplify that further since Netlify can run hugo builds automatically from changes to a git branch.

Beyond that, it's just publish and forget. And the page speed is great (Google scores it at 99) since Netlify is serving it off of a CDN.
