BECAUSE DISASTERS HAPPEN
Why You Need a Website Backup Service
Our support team provides answers to every question, whether it’s about setting up your email or installing scripts so that you can focus solely on your business.
What is a website backup?
A website backup is a complete copy of your website’s files, databases, and email data stored separately from your live server, so you can quickly restore your site if something goes wrong. A reliable website backup service protects your pages, images, scripts, MySQL databases, email accounts, and configuration files, everything needed to recover your site exactly as it was.
Why server-side backups aren't enough
Your hosting provider may keep server snapshots for hardware failures, but they don’t fully protect you from the issues that commonly take websites offline: hacked WordPress installs, failed plugin updates, deleted pages, corrupted databases, or malware infections that can hurt your Google rankings. Even worse, backups stored on the same server can be lost if the server is compromised. HostPapa’s Automated Website Backup solution stores encrypted copies in a secure off-site cloud website backup vault, giving you fast recovery without waiting on support tickets.
Manual vs. Automated Website Backups
You can back up a website manually through cPanel or by downloading files via FTP, but the math rarely works out. Here's the comparison:
| Manual Backup | Automated Website Backup | |
| Frequency | Whenever you remember | Daily, on autopilot |
| Storage location | Often the same server | Off-site, separate cloud server |
| Restore time | Hours (requires manual upload) | Minutes (1-click restore) |
| Version history | Whatever you saved | 7 restore points kept automatically |
| Encryption | Depends on your setup | AES-256 in transit and at rest |
| Time cost | 30–60 min per backup | Zero ongoing time |

Most websites should run a daily backup to protect against data loss, malware, failed updates, and accidental changes. Blogs, online stores, and frequently updated sites benefit most from our Automated Website Backup solution that keeps your latest content protected every day. While smaller static sites may only need weekly backups, a daily website backup is the safer standard, and the default with HostPapa’s backup service.
A hosting backup is a server-level snapshot designed for hardware recovery, but it may not protect you from site-specific issues like hacked WordPress installs, plugin conflicts, corrupted databases, or deleted files. A dedicated website backup service provides secure off-site protection with encrypted cloud storage for website backups, plus fast 1-click restores for individual files or your entire website.
Yes. HostPapa’s Automated Website Backup solution fully protects your WordPress needs by saving core files, themes, plugins, uploads, and your WordPress MySQL database. With secure cloud website backup storage and multiple restore points, you can quickly restore your entire site or recover specific files whenever needed.
Your data is backed up every 24 hours (see the next answer for a list of the types of files backed up). Automated Website Backup maintains up to 7 restore points (versions) of your data, enabling easy version control and restoration.
- Website files, images, and information
- Scripts and applications used on your website
- MySQL databases
- Email files stored in your cPanel account
- Email forwarding structure
This website backup service is sold on a HostPapa Web Hosting control panel (cPanel) account basis. This means that one Automated Website Backup account will cover all domains (including addon domains) associated with one cPanel account.
If you have more than one cPanel account—generally, this would be if you have more than one HostPapa account—you will need to purchase additional Automated Website Backup packages. Every Automated Website Backup account will save up to 7 restore points for your data.
Of course! The Automated Website Backup Basic plan includes the ability to store (and restore) up to 1GB of mission-critical data. While this is ample space for the vast majority of our customers, some HostPapa clients do have websites or data files (photos, videos, or other files) that require more than 1GB of backup space.
You may upgrade your storage space at any time. Simply choose from the following storage amounts: 5GB, 10GB, 25GB, or 50GB.
WordPress is the most popular CMS currently available, which means that there are a few great options for backing up your WordPress site. The Automated Website Backup is the fastest and most complete website backup service, allowing you to save everything from posts to pages, settings, and media files.
HostPapa provides continuous backup of all its servers and equipment, including backing up all hard drives and data onto secondary RAID drives. This is a server-level backup in case of hardware-related issues.
With any shared web hosting service, it's possible to encounter any number of other issues that may affect your data and would not be protected by the server-level backup. These may include:
- Overwriting, accidental deletion, or updating with incorrect data files—especially if you allow multiple people to access or make changes to your website.
- Not keeping up to date with the latest patches and security features leaving you open to threats from hackers and cybercriminals. This is becoming a serious issue, especially if you use scripts, forms, applications, or password-protected areas on your website that require security updates.
- Using third-party applications, including WordPress, Joomla!, and forum scripts, as well as plug-ins and extensions. Automated Website Backup will back up all database data in a secure location.
- Corruption of your MySQL database(s) or applications using MySQL.
- Lost, misplaced, or unidentifiable local backup versions of your website.
It is essential to have a premium secondary-level backup of all your mission-critical data. For a small monthly fee, you’ll be able to restore your data from a previous version anytime you need to do so. Quick, do-it-yourself website recovery—from any web browser, any time.
Within 24 hours of purchasing an Automated Website Backup account, a full backup of all files related to your web hosting account will be completed. This will happen automatically. After the first full backup, a daily incremental backup will also happen automatically.
In other words, you don’t have to do anything—until you want to restore any or all of your files. For a full explanation of the Automated Website Backup easy restore process, please see How do I restore my files using HostPapa Automated Website Backup?
