= Looking for a cheap VPS to run Ghost blog =

I am looking for a cheap vps to run couple Ghost blogs. It is just a personal blog with very low traffic. Probably just from me and a few friends. I am looking for something cheaper than a DO droplet and somewhat reliable. Any recommendation? Thanks!
They have a hosted option, but that's little more expensive than running it yourself on a DO dropet. I am looking for an even cheaper solution since it is just for fun and not really anything serious

Vultr has $2.5 a month IPv6 only VPS in New Jersey and Atlanta. If your home ISP doesn't have IPv6, you can create a short-lived regular VPS (remember to enable IPv6) in Vultr to run the Nyr's OpenVPN which would give you IPv6 tunneling, then setup your IPv6 only VPS, use Cloudflare for the domain which would enable IPv4 tunnel to the webpage, and then you and anyone can visit and post without IPv6

You can use a hosting instead. There are providers who offer unlimited webistes for a single plan. Right now it costs arround less than 20$/year since they are offering promotion. Blog websites are running fine with hosting

Thanks but I am looking for a bit more control on the environment. I already run a DO droplet for a private forum but I want to keep this blog on a separate box. I might decide to run something else on the same VPS as the ghost blog later. I just didn't want to pay $6/month for another DO droplet. Looking for something cheaper and still somewhat reliable

The low end digital ocean droplets are ment more for development and not a production or "live" server. Find yourself a good entry level shared host or a VPS. If I remember Ghost runs a nodeJS app so make sure your host choice supports Node and maybe even helps with setup

I agree, although i have used DO for some production sites in the past, when traffic comes, it does not hold up at all and you end up spending way more then you originally planned for. If you a dev or just have a lot of understanding of how to manage a vps cool go ahead. mostly all the cheapest providers who are half decent have been mentioned. But if not try to find some kind of managed solution. Ghost is cool, but wordpress still has the edge in my opinion. Depends on what you want i guess
