    WriteFreely is one alternative and it also connects to the Fediverse.

    I like namecrane.com for basic cheap web hosting. Get a domain name and an $8/year hosting plan and you're good to go. There's lots of software to choose from, with 1-click installers on namecrane.

    Just keep in mind that Substack charge a once-off $50 setup fee to add your own domain. I wouldn't ever run a blog on a domain you don't own, as you should have full control over your own branding and persona online.
