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 $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.	No	No	No	+ $50/mo
