404media runs off of ghost, when I took a look it seemed pretty cool: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost
Since you specifically mentioned wordpress.com I have to mention wordpress.org
WriteFreely is one alternative and it also connects to the Fediverse.
Very cool.
Also, you can create a blog on Substack
Publii looks pretty cool, I’ll keep it in mind if I need one
I like namecrane.com for basic cheap web hosting. Get a domain name and an $8/year hosting plan and you’re good to go. There’s lots of software to choose from, with 1-click installers on namecrane.
Medium, stubstack, git pages.
Just keep in mind that Substack charge a once-off $50 setup fee to add your own domain. I wouldn’t ever run a blog on a domain you don’t own, as you should have full control over your own branding and persona online.
Write freely is a very basic blogging tool that’s also part of fedi
