Ghost uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 17 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What Ghost does
Ghost is an open-source publishing platform for newsletters and membership sites. Ghost(Pro) is the managed version, hosting the site, the admin interface, email delivery to subscribers and Stripe-backed paid subscriptions. Writers and small publishers use it to run a paid newsletter end to end, which means an outage can interrupt both what readers see and the payments behind it.
What an outage looks like
Published sites fail to load for readers, or load while the admin area will not sign in. Newsletter sends stall, so a scheduled post publishes to the site but the email never arrives. New paid signups fail at the payment step, and members cannot log in to read subscriber-only posts. Analytics stop recording opens and clicks for the period.
What to do about it
Check ghoststatus.org, which reports Ghost(Pro) Websites, Ghost(Pro) Admin, Email delivery, Stripe payments, Analytics, Social web and Ghost.org as separate rows. If only Admin is affected, your site is still serving readers and there is nothing urgent to do. Do not resend a newsletter until Email delivery is green, because a partial send followed by a resend will double-mail some subscribers.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?

How we measure this
- We request Ghost's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Ghost publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
