Could someone comment on why the monthly hosting is $3,042.68? Is that the cost of running their servers?
Wow, 10% of funding money towards the domain. Am I being a prude for thinking that's a lot?
In an age where everybody talks about cloud infrastructure, I find it a very interesting decision to spend $30k on servers up front.
Apart from reducing operating costs, I never thought about servers as assets. Essentially, using things like AWS for operations makes the money go away as soon as it's spent. That's a very real risk if you're striving for a sustainable business that doesn't run on ads and you don't yet know where this is going.

Yeah, and I'm not disagreeing with you, cloud can be really expensive. But with cloud they could have started small and cheap, and scaled up when needed.
I like ghost.org, it's clean and fast. OTOH it's not complicated or revolutionary, is it? I followed ghost for a while and was not impressed by the pace of development. New features took ages.
Anyone know why the development is so (seemingly) slow? Bureaucracy? Slow decision making?
