> A year and a half ago the [Discourse on Ghost integration](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-discourse-on-ghost/257108) was announced, allowing Ghost members to seamlessly access the site’s forum with the same permissions they have on the publication. One “downside” of the integration is that it requires installation on a VPS

So the current Discourse-on-Ghost integration would only need the D-o-G functionality to be self-hosted and not necessarily Ghost. Since that integration uses [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true), it will work fine with any Discourse install out of the box, regardless on how it’s hosted.

Which would require self-hosting Discourse. So what problem would it solve? The burden would shift from self hosting a relatively simple Ghost-add on, to self-hosting Discourse.
