# Self-hosted CMS, blog and online shop platforms

A website, a blog or a shop needs a content management system under it. Running an open-source one yourself keeps the pages, the members and the orders in your own database, lets you add any theme or plugin, and serves the site at your own domain.

WordPress builds websites and blogs with themes and plugins. Ghost is made for publishing, with memberships, subscriptions and newsletters. Grav is a flat-file CMS: a fast site or blog with an admin panel and no database to run. Spree Commerce is an open-source e-commerce platform for products, orders and payments, with a headless API for any storefront.
