Website & Database Backups

Hackers. Uncompressed images. Bad code. Human error. WordPress websites face multiple threats and, as a result, require lots of protection.

But what happens if all the security measures, performance enhancers, and user management controls you put in place aren’t just aren’t enough? What if your WordPress website goes down, gets hacked, or data is corrupted or goes missing? Do you really want to start from scratch?

This is why backups are necessary. Backups are a lifesaver for your website. And they come in handy for a number of reasons:

Security breaches: backups are an essential part of any WordPress security strategy. If your website should be defaced, held for ransom, used as a host for phishing attacks, or otherwise corrupted by a hacker, you don’t want to spend countless hours combing through content or the database to repair it.

Storing WordPress backups outside of your server enables you to instantly recover your site to a previous version and remove the issue.

Bad updates: you introduce risks any time you update WordPress, a theme, or a plugin. Updates are part of keeping your WordPress site secured and speed optimized, but it doesn’t mean there is no potential for harm in the process.

Plugin conflicts, erroneous coding, or bad updates could easily take down your site. If you know this is the cause of the outage and you aren’t able to clean up the infection manually, you can immediately get your website back up and running.

Human error: of course, there’s always the human error to worry about too, especially if you have multiple resources updating content or functions.

All it takes is one line of bad code to break a piece of a website. With backups, you can save yourself time in having to troubleshoot what users did and restore your website with a single click.
