By-Hoster Ghost Hosting review
A focused, affordable managed Ghost service for small publications.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
By-Hoster Ghost Hosting is a managed service for Ghost publications, blogs, magazines and newsletters. It is aimed at publishers, independent journalists, consultancies, charities and software teams that want Ghost without administering a server. By-Hoster handles the Ghost installation, core updates and backups, while hosting the publication in France. The service runs on the web and supports Ghost’s publishing workflow, including the Koenig editor, responsive rendering and server-rendered themes.
The published pricing shows one plan: App Confort at €8.99 per month, including VAT, with monthly billing. It includes managed Ghost installation, Ghost updates, backups, French hosting, paid subscriptions through Stripe and newsletter publishing. The plan also specifies 4 GB of memory. Integrations listed for the service include Stripe, WordPress, Substack, Medium and Mailgun, giving publishers options for payments, migration and email workflows. There is no free plan, so it suits teams ready to pay for managed hosting rather than those comparing free starting points.
Its strongest case is breadth within a focused Ghost setup. The Koenig editor supports galleries, quotes, embeds, toggles and HTML blocks, while content export and Ghost Content API access support portability and extensions. Paid memberships and newsletters cover two important publication revenue and audience channels without requiring server administration. Choose By-Hoster when a small publication wants a straightforward Ghost environment with managed maintenance, backups and subscription tools at a modest monthly price. Consider another option if you need multiple published plans, AI features or a platform beyond web-based Ghost hosting.
