Use Hosted Jant
Jant is open source and you can deploy it yourself. If you'd rather not, jant.me hosts it for you: the same open-source code, with the ops handled on the hosted side.

Pricing and limits
One plan:
| Item | Included |
|---|---|
| Price | $10.46 / year |
| Sites | 3 |
| Media storage | 10 GB |
Billed annually. After you cancel, the site runs to the end of the current period, then enters a 90-day retention window where the data can still be recovered, and is permanently deleted after that.
You can refund within 14 days of your first payment, from the dashboard (Billing → Get a refund), once per plan. A refund ends the plan immediately: the site goes offline and enters the same 90-day retention window, so resubscribing within it brings the site back.
What's included
- Full Jant feature set: Threads, Collections, GitHub Sync, API/MCP, Hugo export — the same as a self-hosted install.
- Custom domain and HTTPS: bind your own domain from the dashboard; certificates are issued and renewed automatically.
- Database and media storage: configured and operated by the hosted side.
Getting started
- Sign up at jant.me/signup.
- Create a site. Each new site gets a
*.jant.blogsubdomain that works immediately. - (Optional) Bind your own domain: dashboard → select the site → Domains → add a domain, then configure DNS at your registrar as instructed.
Move out at any time
Two ways:
- Hugo export: export every post, media file, and setting into a standard Hugo site directory you can deploy to any Hugo host.
- GitHub Sync: the site continuously syncs content into your own GitHub repo. The repo itself is a complete Hugo site you can run on its own at any time.
Hosted and self-hosted move to each other through the same import flow.
How it compares to self-hosting
| Item | Hosted | Self-hosted |
|---|---|---|
| Setup cost | Sign up and go | Follow the Cloudflare or Docker docs |
| Upgrades and ops | Automatic | You run them |
| Where data lives | Hosted environment | Your own environment |
| Cost | $10.46 / year | Usually within Cloudflare's free tier |
Why $10.46
$10.46 is what Cloudflare charges to register and renew a .com domain for a year. A subscription you keep for years has to be judged on what it costs over those years, and $10.46 looks fair to me.
