Hi,

I am interested in starting a pro plan with write.as but for seo purpose a directory (/blog) is better than [blog.domain.com](http://blog.domain.com). Competitors like esyblog and ghost offer these kind of installs, mainly handled via cloudflare of [hostforward.io](http://hostforward.io).

I was wondering how others looked at this issue and how others have fixed this?  
I looked at writefreely but only have an apache hosting and am not familair with commandline.
