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 $100/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.

Custom sending domain All Ghost(Pro) sites are configured to deliver newsletters in bulk using ghost.io
as the verified sending domain, which is optimised for the best possible deliverability rates.
For customers with an established sender reputation, sending more than 50,000 emails per month, we also offer the ability to configure a custom sending domain for newsletters. This is a $50/month addon only available on our Ghost(Pro) Business plan, and requires customers to maintain additional DNS records for maximum deliverability rates.
We only recommend this setup for teams who are comfortable with advanced email configuration and are willing to put in the time and resources needed to maintain it.
