I too think that and that was one of the reasons I moved to Ghost. But I'm a broke and cheap student who doesn't pay for a VPS or hosting provider currently so I have temporarily (until I join a job in July) moved back to a simple Jekyll website with Discourse for comments.

I am confused, I thought for Ghost you have to set up comments yourself as well: https://www.ghostforbeginners.com/how-to-enable-comments-on-...

I have been running Ghost for free on OpenShift but haven't set up comments. I would recommend it but I don't think OpenShift are taking on new accounts for the v2 platform where Ghost is available -- they are transitioning to "next gen" and I haven't checked if they have Ghost on that.

Oh, sorry for being unclear. Being a dynamic website, I rolled my own simple comment system (mainly to learn, I eventually replaced it with Discourse).

Thanks for recommending OpenShift. I'll be getting my first paycheck in July and will move to a hosting provider that provides best value.

Ah I see, has Discourse improved as a comment system or is it still quite hard to set up?

I was mainly recommending OpenShift because it's free but I don't know if the setup I have now is still available.
