Short answer: CodeGuard is a paid add-on that backs up your website automatically every day and keeps the copies away from your hosting server. If something goes wrong, you can restore one file or the whole site with a few clicks. You can order it from our CodeGuard page.
Why use automatic backups?
A backup is your safety net. If your site is hacked, an update goes wrong, or a file is deleted by mistake, a recent backup lets you put it back the way it was. Manual backups are easy to forget. CodeGuard does it for you every day.
What CodeGuard does
- Daily automatic backups of your website files and database.
- Stored off the server, in the cloud, so a problem on your hosting does not touch your backups.
- Easy restore of a single file or the whole website.
- Change alerts so you know when files on your site change.
- Malware check on your website files, with the option to go back to a clean backup.
- WordPress help: it can update WordPress, plugins and themes and roll back if an update breaks something.
How to get it
- Go to our CodeGuard page and choose the size that fits your website.
- Pick the hosting account or domain it is for, and complete your order.
- After it is active, open Services in your client area and click Manage on CodeGuard to see your backups.
