I am looking to stick to my existing URL, and using ghost only for /news and /guides. Is it possible?
Sorry for the silly questions I am just totally new into it.

This is possible – check out reverse proxy.

Say for Nginx, you can route the subdirectories /news and /guides as separate “locations” than your existing app. For example:

location / {
    # YOUR ROOT CONFIGURATION FOR MYAPP.COM
}

location /news/ {
    ....
    proxy_pass http://localhost:6666; # Where your Ghost is running
    ....
}

etc. Then you simply firewall external access of port 6666, and you’re good to go.
