GhostPubCalc Telemetry & Cost Schedule: Hostinger KVM vs ChemiCloud Companion

We recommend Hostinger KVM 2 as the core Ghost v5 compute server because 8 GB RAM accommodates MySQL 8 InnoDB growth and Ghost CLI blue-green restarts cleanly. We advise reserving ChemiCloud for managed companion web properties, press kits, or editorial IMAP mailboxes rather than running the Ghost Node daemon itself.
