Honest question: for the rest of us who can't write our own blogging platforms but are able to roll out our own hosting for a blog, which one would you recommend?

Not OP, but http://jekyllrb.com/ and ghost are both great.

I've been aware of Jekyll, but I never gave it any serious consideration. Maybe I should go ahead and do that now.

Thanks!

WP Engine (http://WPEngine.com) laregly solves any of these lingering concerns, or makes them irrelevant. It is also relied on by many, many Fortune 500's through to YC Startups. (Disclosure, I'm a confounder but not actively involved in the company these days)

Very familiar with WP Engine! However, my question was more around what other platforms can I set up on the hosted space I already have, rather than paying for someone else to host my WordPress blog.

Thanks though!
