Regular Website Backups

Regular site backups are essential for any website. If you are running a business, it is not always possible to assign the time or resources to run regular backups. If your website were to be a victim of a security breach, it could mean losing all valuable data including customer information. Rebuilding your website from scratch may not be as serious a concern as reacquiring all that data.

Affordable Websites offers scheduled backups as part of its services to ensure complete data safety. It is also convenient and allows you to focus on your core business activities. Your site is regularly monitored for performance, but if there is any security threat disaster recovery is easy and quick and your business will not have to suffer.

Our Backup Routine

Your project resides on both a local(computer that it was designed on) and a remote server(computer used to display/host your project). Since they are both computers, it is extremely important that a backup routine is maintained. At the very least, we backup your project after every modification to CD/DVD, external hard drive and the cloud. From time to time, you may also want a fresh copy for your records just in case we retire, you change hosting companies or for whatever reason.
