He's making it sound really easy. The reason many people end up using WP for their self hosted blog is that it runs on just about every shared hosting in the world. Ghost really doesn't – because it uses Node.
Switching hosting provider (often to a more expensive one) is more trouble and sacrifice than most people like to go through. Because, for those who are really just interested in writing, the blogging software isn't very important at all. It is where you write your texts and you publish them.
Being anal about blogging software is, after all, an occupation for the tech geeks who like to obsess about details. You know those who often have 7 posts on their blog in total. Like the author of this blog post... And me.
- robodale 13y agoThis post was relevant to me, because I was just opening a new account on my hosting provider today, and installing WordPress of course for just the reasons laid out. I don't care about anything, other than getting my article on my site so my customers can see it....and they don't care about anything other than the fact my article needs to be there.
- debacle 13y ago> it it runs on just about every shared hosting in the world. Even more to your point, most hosts either provide WordPress installations out of the box or provide some sort of 1 click install via cPanel. For a non-technical user, that's great ease of use.
