Managed Subdirectory Install All Ghost(Pro) sites can be configured to run on a root domain, like example.com, or on a subdomain, like blog.example.com, using a standard CNAME record.
It's also possible to run sites on a subdirectory, like example.com/blog, however this requires customers to run their own self-hosted reverse proxy with a custom configuration. Supporting this setup is non-trivial, and is a $100/month addon only available on our Ghost(Pro) Business plan.
We only recommend this setup for teams who are very comfortable with complex technical infrastructure and are willing to put in the time and resources needed to maintain it.
