Hey there.

Can someone recommend a host and also someone that can setup GHOST for me? I need a platform where support is available 24/7.

Hi,

the 2 most popular options i can definitely recommend are either hosting at [ghost.org](http://ghost.org) itself.  
Its fully managed, so you don’t have to worry about anything regarding your server.  
They have different tiers, with different levels of support.  
They also have cloudflare cdn already set up, so you don’t need to that either.

The second option is running your ghost blog on Digital Ocean (which i do aswell):  
They have a 1-Click-App which sets up a fully functional droplet with ghost for you.  
Even with no prior knowledge you can definitely set up the digital ocean droplet.  
And if not, there’s always someone to guide you in this forum.  
They have 24/7 support.  
But you will have to maintain your server from time to time (keep it updated etc.) set up CDN… which really isn’t that much work. But if you don’t want to do any of that, i think running your Ghost Blog at [ghost.org](http://ghost.org) itself would be a good start.
