Bonus: self-host on Digital Ocean

The cheapest way to host a Ghost blog is to self-host (what is self-hosting?). This can be as cheap as $5/month.

However, this will require you to do server work in return for a more flexible configuration and complete control of your server.

Digital Ocean is a server provider and they offer one-click Ghost installations.
