About Synaps Media
Synaps Media runs Ghost sites for publishers, creators and small teams who want a dependable setup without maintaining servers. Ghost provides writing, paid memberships, built-in newsletters and analytics, and Synaps handles the surrounding work: fast global hosting through a CDN, daily backups with safe restores, email and newsletter configuration, domain setup and management, and automatic updates and maintenance. The service also mentions GDPR compliance and help with importing existing sites.
A control panel includes a multi-site manager for all Ghost sites in one account, a domain manager with automated DNS handling, email account management for custom domains and downloadable or instant backups. Email Inboxes and Advanced Web Analytics are premium add-ons. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card, and two plans with monthly, yearly, two-year and three-year billing.
