That's for a managed WP host. I agree that the $50/mo price comes out of nowhere, but you're still not going to find one for $20/mo as you would with Ghost.
Ghost is 20 times faster. And once you add a single WP plugin, it's 100 times faster.

For 4 dollars a month you can.

50 dollars a month seems extremely costly. For that amount $600 a year it would be cheaper to hire someone to self host for you.
For security beyond running updated software, it includes a Wordpress-tuned web application firewall and the $24.95/month tier includes "Malware Scanning & Repair."
