Weekly Backup
Understand how the weekly backups made available with the Virtual Private Servers function and what data is protected.
Different from a shared website hosting account where the data is backed up by the hosting company, if you use a virtual or a dedicated web server you will have to keep manual backups as such a service isn't included by default. As great as a hosting server may be, there is always a possibility that something may go wrong. As an example, you could delete some content by accident or a script-driven app could get corrupted after an update. If you have a backup, you shall not need to be concerned about this kind of problems as the content can be easily restored. As it may not be very practical to do this regularly on your end, we offer an optional backup service for all of our server packages and we will store a copy of your content on an individual server to be certain that it is undamaged no matter what. With the upgrade, you could work on your server without having to worry that you might lose any data due to any reason.
Weekly Backup in Dedicated Servers
When you employ one of our dedicated web hosting plans, you'll be able to take full advantage of the optional backup service with just 2 mouse clicks. You can include it during the initial signup and have backups made the instant your hosting server is working or you could add it afterwards using your CP in case you decide that you shall need it for the future. With this service, fifty Gigabytes of disk space on an independent web server will be reserved for you at all times, so if anything fails with a site or some other web app, we can promptly restore the content. You can get weekly backups not only as an individual service, but also as an element of our Managed Services pack, which includes a number of other tasks which our administrators can perform for you such as installing third-party software and updating the OS of your dedicated server. This would allow you to work on your web apps without needing to worry that something may go not as planned.
