To publish a Ghost blog on 000Webhost, you can follow these steps:

  1. Sign up for an account on 000Webhost and log in to your account dashboard.
  2. Click on the "Upload Files" option in the menu to access the file manager.
  3. In the file manager, create a new folder for your Ghost blog. You can name it something like "blog" or "ghost".
  4. Download the latest version of Ghost from their official website (https://ghost.org) and unzip the files on your computer.
  5. Upload all the extracted Ghost files to the folder you created in the file manager on 000Webhost.
  6. Create a MySQL database for your Ghost blog. To do this, go to the 'Database' section in your 000Webhost account dashboard and follow the instructions to create a new database.
  7. Once the database is created, click on the 'Manage' button to get the database details like hostname, database name, username, and password.
  8. Next, navigate to the config.production.json file in the Ghost folder on your hosting account. Update the database details in the file with the information from the database you created on 000Webhost.
  9. Finally, visit your website URL in a web browser, e.g., https://your-ghost-blog.000webhostapp.com, to complete the installation process for Ghost.


Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Ghost blog, create an admin account, and customize your blog settings.


That's it! Your Ghost blog is now published on 000Webhost. You can start creating and publishing content on your new blog.
