Backup basics for your website

A practical guide to understanding regular website backups and the recovery questions worth asking.

Backups are your quiet safety net

Backups let you return to an earlier version of your website after an accidental deletion, an update that did not go to plan, or an unwanted change.

A sensible backup routine

  • Know the backup frequency on your plan
  • Keep a separate copy of critical content where appropriate
  • Test your recovery process before an emergency
  • Record who can access the website and domain account

The Growth and Business shared hosting plans include daily backups. Starter includes weekly backups.
