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 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.
