Short answer
Yes, on web hosting, reseller hosting and corporate hosting: automated daily backups are included at no extra cost, with daily, weekly and monthly restore points. VPS and dedicated servers aren't backed up by default; add backups at checkout, or run your own.
What’s backed up
| Service | Backups |
|---|---|
| Web, WordPress and cloud hosting | Daily, automated, included |
| Reseller and master reseller hosting | Daily, automated, included |
| Corporate hosting | Daily, automated, included |
| VPS | Not included; add at checkout |
| Dedicated servers (VDS) | Not included; add at checkout |
On hosting plans, backups cover your files, databases and email. You can restore from one daily, one weekly and one monthly restore point.
Getting a file or site back
- Ask our team: open a ticket or start a live chat, say what you need restored (a file, a database or the whole site) and from which day, and we’ll restore it for you.
- Do it yourself: cPanel’s backup tools let you download a full copy of your account, or a single database, whenever you want.
Keep a copy of your own
Our backups protect you if something goes wrong on the server or something is deleted by accident. For important sites, keep another copy somewhere else too (the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, on 2 types of storage, 1 off-site):
- Download a full cPanel backup every month, or before major changes.
- On WordPress, a backup plugin can send copies to cloud storage.
- For bigger volumes of data, a storage box is affordable off-site space.
VPS and dedicated servers
A VPS or VDS is your own server, so backups are your call. Add backups when you order, or set up your own (a nightly copy to a storage box, for example). Take a snapshot before upgrades. See VPS hosting or, if you’d like us to look after it, managed VPS.
