If you're interested in self-hosting, I've been very impressed with cloudron.io. Open source, quick to set up, allows easy installation of Ghost, Mattermost, GitLab, and 80+ other apps. 
A few tips:
1) Use a dedicated server from Hetzner or Contabo, not an AWS instance. Reason: it's 10-100X cheaper & you don't need programmability.
2) You'll need to configure the box to send email (eg password resets), which means a host that allows setting PTR records.

Cloudron may be interesting for crypto & dweb people as well because packaging new apps for it is Docker-based and quite easy. docs.cloudron.io/custom-apps/tu…
If there's interest, I may write a sequel to this post. Basically, how to self-host your ghost (and everything else).

When using a VPS or the like there's still some degree of cloud dependence. However, the backup-and-restore functionality of cloudron mitigates this issue, as you can snapshot images to anywhere you want — or even rsync them locally. docs.cloudron.io/backups/
