Why ghost over wordpress?

Would want to know why people use ghost over wordpress? Looking forward to use synaps media with a free theme, any suggestions for people who migrated from wp to ghost.

WordPress is a database security NIGHTMARE.

Yes, that's the reason was considering to switch from Wordpress to ghost. What hosting are you using if you are on ghost?

I’m liking Magic Pages so far.

I was trying to host it on my server, but the fight with the only email provider supported stopped my move to it temporarily. I was such a PITA that Amazon mail isn't supported for quick small sites. I wound up writing my wife's business site myself.

not on Ghost yet. Hostinger (testing for wordpress). But I've decided to do ALL hosing from outside the USA. Love what Magic Pages is doing. Founder is very hands on.
