I am hosting this on Substack (https://substack.com/) which was free to get started in minutes. I was able to buy and add my own domain later as well.
If I were starting from scratch today I would choose Beehiiv (https://www.beehiiv.com/ ) over Substack. They just seem to care more and are more or less the same but adding features much quicker.
I am moving to a custom setup soon but the above options are very useful in getting something off the ground.
beehiiv is for sure interesting, but also pretty expensive (for people starting out) with $50/month if you want to use your own domain. Just that people don't overlook that.
True! I did start and grow this without my own domain for awhile (not sure I would recommend doing this if you have hopes of turning it into more than a hobby - too risky trying to grab a name later).
