Backing up your site is the only way to ensure you’re protected from losing all the work you’ve put into it. And losing your website can have big consequences.
If you have to build a new website from scratch, you lose the time and cost involved in creating an all new site. That’s not a small thing, and that’s exactly why you need website backups. And if your website had a lot of pages or an active blog, you may be unable to recreate some of the content you worked hard on—a portion of your website could end up being gone for good.
If you run a business site, then you’re losing revenue for the entire time your site is offline. For an ecommerce business, the losses could be huge, as no one will be able to make purchases at all until you get it back up. For a service provider, a broken website at best makes you look unprofessional, and could also lose you potential clients that can’t find your business while it’s down.
On top of the consequences in time and money, you have to deal with all the stress, frustration, and embarrassment of solving an avoidable emergency. The emotional cost of losing your website without website backups may be harder to measure, but shouldn’t be discounted.
Never fret. We offer website backups that backup by the month, week, or even daily.
Website backups should be done on a regular basis, just like computer backups. The best case scenario is either daily or weekly backups, or around as often as you update your website. For example, if you only publish a single blog post per week and that’s the only update you make to your site, then weekly backups will suffice.
