Members Members Members are any users who have either a free or paid account on your site with which they can subscribe or log-in, using Ghost's memberships & subscriptions feature. As your publication grows over time you'll be notified to upgrade your plan whenever needed, based on the number of members you have.	500	1,000	1,000	10,000
Staff users Staff users Staff users are people who can log into Ghost Admin and publish posts, which includes Author, Editor, Administrator and Owner roles. Contributors and Suspended users are always free, they won't count towards your plan limits.	1	2	5	Unlimited

File uploads File upload limits You can upload unlimited files to each Ghost(Pro) plan. The file upload limit applies to how large each individual file can be, whether image, audio, video, pdf, or other upload. If you need to upload files larger than supported by any of our plans, we recommend using a separate, dedicated service optimised for serving large media, like YouTube or Dropbox. File uploads are subject to our Fair Use Policy.	5mb	100mb	250mb	1gb

Custom subdirectory install Managed Subdirectory Install All Ghost(Pro) sites can be configured to run on a root domain, like `example.com`, or on a subdomain, like `blog.example.com`, using a standard CNAME record. It's also possible to run sites on a subdirectory, like `example.com/blog`, however this requires customers to run their own self-hosted reverse proxy with a custom configuration. Supporting this setup is non-trivial, and is a $50/month addon only available on our Ghost(Pro) Business plan. We only recommend this setup for teams who are very comfortable with complex technical infrastructure and are willing to put in the time and resources needed to maintain it.	No	No	No	+ $50/mo
