Modern publishing platform for blogs, memberships, and newsletters
Ghost is a fast, headless CMS built on Node.js, offering built‑in membership, subscription, and newsletter tools for creators who need flexible publishing and SEO‑friendly performance.
Ghost is a modern publishing platform built on Node.js. It combines a fast headless CMS with native membership, subscription, and newsletter capabilities, letting creators monetize content without third‑party plugins.
For quick production you can launch a site on Ghost(Pro), a fully managed service that includes CDN, SSL, backups and 24/7 support. Developers who prefer full control install Ghost locally or on a server using the ghost-cli tool (ghost install local for a minute‑long setup, ghost install for a full production stack with automatic Let’s Encrypt SSL).
Ghost’s theming system uses Handlebars and a robust JSON API, enabling custom front‑ends in React, Vue, or any framework. Extensive documentation, a vibrant forum, and a contributor guide help both beginners and advanced developers extend the core or build custom integrations.
When teams consider Ghost, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
