How recovery works

From daily snapshot to one-click restore

Automated backups run on a schedule and store copies away from your web server, so the thing that breaks your site cannot also destroy the copy you need to recover from it.

Connect the site

The service connects to your files over SFTP or FTP and to your database, then takes a first full copy. It works with any host, so you do not need to move your site to start protecting it.

Daily automatic snapshots

After the baseline, only what changed is copied each day. That keeps backups fast and storage small, while still giving you a restorable point for every day rather than one weekly copy you hope is current.

Stored off your server

Copies live in separate cloud storage, not on the machine serving your site. If that server is compromised, fails, or is suspended for an unpaid invoice, your backups are unaffected and still reachable.

Restore a file or the whole site

Roll the entire site back to a chosen day, or pull back a single file or database table when only one thing broke. Granular restore is what turns a bad plugin update from an evening's work into a two-minute fix.

Before you buy

Website backup questions we are asked most

Why server-side backups are not enough, how often to back up, what a backup cannot fix, and how this differs from a WordPress backup plugin.

My host already takes daily backups — why pay for more?

Server-side backups cover the common case well and are included with our hosting. What they do not cover is the server itself being the problem: a compromise, a hardware failure, or an account suspension can take the site and the backups together. Off-server storage exists for exactly that scenario, and it is also the only option if you host somewhere that does not back up at all.

Short answer

Server-side backups fail with the server; off-server copies survive it.

How often should a website be backed up?

Match the frequency to how much work you are willing to redo. A brochure site that changes monthly is fine on daily backups. A shop taking orders every hour loses real revenue with a day-old copy, so it needs more frequent database snapshots. The right question is not how often to back up but how much data you can afford to lose.

Short answer

Daily suits most sites; hourly order volume needs more frequent database copies.

Will a backup protect me from being hacked?

No — it protects you from the consequences. A backup is how you get a working site back quickly, but restoring without fixing the entry point means being reinfected within days. Recovery and prevention are separate jobs: restore from a clean snapshot, then patch the vulnerability or change the credentials that let the attacker in.

Short answer

Backups fix the damage, not the cause — patch the entry point after restoring.

How is this different from a WordPress backup plugin?

A plugin runs inside the site it is protecting. If WordPress will not load — a fatal PHP error, a white screen, a hacked admin — the plugin usually cannot be reached either, which is exactly when you need it. An external service connects over SFTP and works whether or not the site is up, and it covers non-WordPress files a plugin never touches.

Short answer

A plugin needs a working site; an external service works when the site is down.

Can I restore just one file instead of the whole site?

Yes, and it is usually the better move. Full restores roll back everything, including orders, comments and content added since the snapshot. Restoring the single theme file or database table that broke leaves the rest of the site untouched, which matters most on a store where a full rollback would erase real transactions.

Short answer

File-level restore avoids rolling back orders and content you want to keep.

Can backups be used to move a site to a new host?

They can, and people do. A full snapshot contains the files and database a migration needs. If you would rather not do it yourself, our team handles the move as a separate service — including DNS planning so the site and email stay reachable while the change propagates.

Short answer

A full snapshot is a working migration package; we can also run the move for you.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Browse by topic or search below. Every answer is written by our engineers — no fluff.

01Do all hosting plans include a free SSL certificate?

Yes. Every HostAccent shared hosting, WordPress hosting, cloud, and VPS plan includes a free auto-renewing SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt or equivalent). SSL encrypts traffic between your visitors and your server, enables HTTPS, and is a confirmed Google ranking signal — included at no extra cost on every plan from the entry-level tier upwards.

02How quickly can an SSL certificate be activated?

Free Let's Encrypt SSL activates in minutes via cPanel's AutoSSL tool. For premium paid SSL certificates (DV, OV, or EV), domain validation typically takes minutes, organisation validation takes 1-3 business days, and EV validation takes 3-7 business days due to the extended vetting process. HostAccent's support team guides you through each step.

03Will an SSL certificate improve my SEO rankings?

Yes. Google has confirmed HTTPS (requiring a valid SSL certificate) as a ranking factor since 2014. Without SSL, Chrome and other browsers display 'Not Secure' warnings that increase bounce rates, harming both rankings and conversion rates. An SSL certificate is the minimum baseline for any serious website in 2024.

04What is the difference between DV, OV, and EV SSL certificates?

DV (Domain Validated) SSL verifies domain ownership only — issued in minutes and shown as a browser padlock. OV (Organisation Validated) SSL verifies your business identity alongside domain ownership. EV (Extended Validation) SSL undergoes the strictest vetting, showing your company name in the address bar — best for banks, financial services, and high-trust ecommerce. HostAccent offers all three types.

05What is the difference between free Let's Encrypt SSL and paid SSL?

Both encrypt your site traffic identically — there is no speed or encryption-strength difference. Free Let's Encrypt is DV-only and auto-renews every 90 days. Paid SSL certificates (DV, OV, EV) include warranties ($10,000-$1.75M), static validity periods (1-2 years), organisation validation, and extended validation options that display your company name — important for high-trust ecommerce and financial sites.
