What customers say
“As a developer and cloud enthusiast, I’ve tried a lot of infrastructure platforms — but DanubeData genuinely stands out as one of the most intuitive, modern, and reliable cloud services I’ve used. From signup to deployment, everything feels thoughtfully designed and developer-centric. Deploying a VPS, cache, or database instance takes under a minute — and that’s not an exaggeration! Their intuitive dashboard and instant provisioning make launching new services effortless, even if you’re just getting started with cloud infrastructure”
The publishing tools, already together
Posts, memberships and newsletters share one editor and one audience. Add the services you need when you’re ready.
Write and publish
Ghost’s editor brings images, embeds, galleries and rich content cards into your posts.
Free and paid memberships
Gate content for members and connect your own Stripe account for paid subscriptions. Stripe processing fees apply.
Newsletters in Ghost
Compose newsletters beside your posts. Connect Mailgun for bulk delivery and configure transactional email separately.
Your own design
Use a Ghost theme or upload a custom Handlebars theme to shape your publication.
Hosting that fits your publication
Choose the resources for your Ghost application, with its MySQL database included. Hosting is billed hourly; prices exclude VAT.
From €9.99/month
Your email provider and Stripe billing stay separate, so account for those services when planning your publication.

Choose your Ghost instance
Select Ghost in the managed app catalog, choose a resource profile and name your publication.
Create your admin account
Once the instance is running, open /ghost and complete Ghost’s first-run setup with your own email and password.
Connect and publish
Add your domain and theme, configure email, and connect Stripe if you want paid memberships. Then publish your first post.
Set up delivery before sending
Writing a newsletter and delivering it are separate steps. Bring your email service and test the reader journey before launch.
Ghost uses Mailgun for bulk newsletters. Member sign-in links and other transactional messages use its mail configuration. Choose the provider settings and region that fit your publication’s needs.
Connect Stripe for paid memberships, then test signup, sign-in and a newsletter send before inviting your readers.

Ghost hosting questions
Your publication, your integrations and the hosting that supports them.
The Ghost application runs with its own MySQL database, persistent content storage, health checks, an HTTPS address and custom domain support. You manage the publication through Ghost Admin; DanubeData manages the hosting infrastructure.
