Posthaven
What Posthaven is
Posthaven is a web blogging platform built for long-term availability. You can publish from the web or by email, schedule posts, and let subscribers receive new posts automatically by email. It supports custom domains and blog analytics. Themes can be created with HTML, CSS, Liquid, and Posthaven’s CLI, allowing custom code rather than only preset designs. Blogs may be password protected, and private posts can be shared through direct links. Hosting includes SSL. Posthaven can autopost to Twitter and LinkedIn and connect Google Analytics for tracking. After 12 months of payment, a canceled or unpaid account may remain online in read-only archive mode. The Founder plan costs $5 a month, billed monthly, for up to 10 blogs. There is no free plan or trial, although a first-month cancellation can qualify for a full refund when support is contacted.
