About Posthaven
Posthaven is a small blogging service started by the founders of Posterous after that service was acquired and closed. Its main promise is longevity: it pledges never to raise money, get acquired or shut down, and if you have paid for at least a year your site stays online in read-only mode even if billing lapses. Day to day, it is a straightforward blog: you post from the web or by email, invite contributors, build a mailing list of followers, autopost to social networks, and theme the site with HTML and CSS on your own domain. One low monthly price covers up to ten blogs, and there is a no-questions refund if it isn't for you. The features are modest and the interface looks dated next to newer platforms, and there are no paid subscriptions. It runs in the browser. It suits people who want a dependable place for writing to live for decades.
Best for: Writers who care most that their blog stays online for the long term.
