(Note that I'm not parent) Let's try to read that a bit more positively. Their trajectory was incredible impressive and really a little bit a wtf. They managed to create a product in a category everyone thought to be conquered by Wordpress and the Medium-of-the-time SV project, pivoted that from clearly a blog to something clearly more commercial. All while using a programming environment that was pretty obviously the wrong choice for the project plus starting with a severely feature-limited system. And even asking more for hosting than seemed remotely reasonable (unsure that this was true or just an impression back then, current pricing looks reasonable, but that might be a changed perspective). Having worked on two blog engines at that time I can completely relate to the jealousness, without having applied :)

  Thanks I've edited my OP to give a more clear indication of what I meant. Not sure why the downvotes it's quite incredible what they've managed to achieve far more than what I have in the 9 years to be honest!

If you mean that they provide an SLA and uptime guarantees and such yip and there are many and I mean many alternatives to this that give the same guarantees and always have done for the full course of the 9 years. > they dedicated over 9 years to work on Ghost and built a company around hosting instances to fund the development Yes and good on them ! My OP was how much of a miracle this is in software.
