Ghost is a fully open source, hackable platform for blogging and running a modern online publication. Ghost is coded in Node.js and JavaScript, based on Google’s V8. It is available as a hosted platform as well as a free software to install.

Ghost is mainly built for writing blog posts. It provides plug-ins and extensions like SEO, comment, social media etc. Apart from above no other external plug-ins are for Ghost.

Web hosting

To conclude, these are not only the blogging platforms available. There are more like Weebly, Joomla, Medium. Now it is up to you that which blogging platform best suits your content and ideas. According to researches, WordPress is best to use. But I think each and every blog platform has its own place in the market.

As said by William Blake:

“Everything is beautiful in its own place. Exuberance is beauty.”
