Ghost, self-hosted, the software is free and I pay $5/month for the small DO box.
The platforms (Wordpress.com, Ghost(Pro), Blogger, etc) will probably handle massive spikes better. With something like CloudFlare, I think you can mitigate a lot of that though.
I've also been happy with Tumblr in the past — there's no self-hosted version available, but hosted is free. I like Ghost's writing tools better, but Tumblr's media tools are far more full featured and battle tested from years of tons of users.
- rajeshmr 10y agoCurrently, Tumblr seems like a good option. But it's limited by its approach to blogging. It separates out text, images, videos, quotes and links. I find that approach quite limiting as when we write we tend to mix and match all those formats. Also, I found it limiting to publishing code in Tumblr.
