Use Hosted Jant

If you'd rather not deal with deployment, upgrades, and backups, the official hosted service at jant.me runs Jant for you. It runs the same open-source code as a self-hosted install.

Pricing and limits

There's a single Jant Hosted plan:

Item Included
Price $10.46 / year
Sites 3
Media storage 10 GB

Need more storage? Email [email protected] and we'll work something out.

Billed annually. After you cancel, the site keeps running until the end of the current paid period. Then it enters a 90-day retention window during which data can still be recovered. After 90 days, the site is permanently deleted.

Your data can be carried out at any time via Hugo export or GitHub Sync into your own environment.

What's included

  • Full Jant feature set: Threads, Collections, GitHub Sync, API/MCP, Hugo export — every feature works the same as on a self-hosted install.
  • Automatic HTTPS: certificates are issued and renewed automatically for the default subdomain and any custom domain you bind.
  • Custom domain: bind your own domain from the dashboard.
  • Database and media storage: configured and operated by the hosted side. From your view it's just a site in the dashboard.

Getting started

  1. Sign up at jant.me/signup.
  2. Create a site. Each new site gets a *.jant.blog subdomain that works immediately.
  3. (Optional) Bind your own domain: dashboard → select the site → Domains → add a domain, then configure DNS at your registrar as instructed. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically.

Take your content with you

Hosted and self-hosted run the same open-source code:

  • Hugo export: export every post, media file, and setting at once into a standard Hugo site directory you can run on any Hugo host.
  • GitHub Sync: have the site continuously sync content into your own GitHub repo. The repo itself is a complete Hugo site, so you always hold a current, independently runnable copy.

You can switch from hosted to self-hosted at any time, or back the other direction, 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

It's what Cloudflare charges to register and renew a .com domain. Slightly above free, but still official. Low enough that starting doesn't feel like a commitment, high enough that it isn't free either.
