Substack alternative

A Substack alternative where your blog lives at your domain, not substack.com.

Substack's $50 custom domain add-on redirects traffic to substack.com. On Nashra Publisher, your blog is hosted at yourdomain.com and emails go from you@yourdomain.com, on a flat fee with no percentage cut.

Free up to 500 subscribers.

THE HONEST READ

What Substack's custom domain actually gives you.

Substack sells a custom domain for $50 as a one-time purchase. What that buys: a redirect from yourdomain.com to your Substack publication. The underlying URL is still substack.com. The sending address is still @substack.com. Reader-facing, your domain appears in the address bar. Operationally, the publication still lives on Substack's servers. Export your subscribers and move, and the redirect stops working. Your domain points at nothing. Experts and publishers who want real ownership need a publishing OS where the blog actually lives at their domain and outbound emails come from their address.

Every line item. No fine print.
