Get a Ghost blog set up on Digital Ocean for a one-off $59 at gloat.dev
Digital Ocean, a hosting company, offer a one-click Ghost installation. This is more involved than a managed host like Ghost(Pro) as you run the server and have to set up Ghost yourself. As a trade off for not having someone else manage the server, you pay far less per month.

The bad
If you haven't run servers before, you may need to ask someone for help
