New: Premium Backup for Ultimate Peace of Mind

Your website is the backbone of your online presence, representing countless hours of hard work, financial and marketing investment. At SiteGround, we understand the paramount importance of protecting this valuable asset. Knowing from experience that every website should have backups to restore from, over a decade ago, we introduced automated daily backups for every site hosted at SiteGround. Building on this foundation, later on we launched geographically distributed ones at no extra cost for our clients.

And now, we’re happy to introduce our newest Premium Backup solution designed to ensure that you can quickly create, restore and download from multiple backups of your website in any situation.

What is the new Premium Backup service?

Our Premium Backup service is a comprehensive solution that provides up to 60 additional backup copies of your site and allows downloading all your backups to your local machine. And that’s on top of the daily backups every SiteGround site comes with!

Automatic Backups Made Every Hour

SiteGround’s Premium Backup includes hourly backups strategically created in the last 48 hours. This way you can easily restore a recent, up-to-date version of your website and  prevent data loss.

Hourly backups are a must-have for most websites, but especially for those whose content or backend are often updated, receive online orders or are using a lot of plugins for different functionalities. In case of an accident, an update gone wrong or anything that results in your website not looking or performing as expected, having a recent backup to restore from is absolutely crucial. Having multiple hourly backups enables you to easily locate the one you need to restore from and in just a few clicks specify whether you need a specific file, email or your whole website restored in an instant. 

On-demand Backups at Your Convenience

With our Premium Backup service, you get 5 on-demand backup slots for a full backup of your site, whenever you need it. If your plan already has on-demand backups included, those 5 will be added as additional slots you can use to create even more backups at different times. 

Introducing a big change? Testing a new design? Want to capture a version of your website that you may want to return to later? You can do all of this safely with an on-demand backup. Just log in to your Site Tools, name your new backup and once created, you can easily download and restore from later. 

Extra Daily Automatic Backups for Extended Coverage

When it comes to backups, the more the merrier. With our Premium Backup Service you get 7 additional automated daily backups on top of the ones included in your plan. This makes a total of up to 37 backup copies on shared hosting plans and 14 backup copies on Cloud. With an extended backup coverage you have more options to restore from and a larger period covered so you can rest assured that even older versions are safely stored and available for download. 

Convenient Restores and Backup Downloads

Our new premium backups also allow you to easily restore files, emails, databases, or your whole website. What is more, you can even download any backup to your local computer, where each downloaded backup contains the website’s files, emails and databases.

The download option adds one more layer of security allowing you to keep a backup of your site on your local machine, too. We highly recommend that such copies are created and kept by each site owner, as this increases the redundancy and minimizes further the risk of data loss.
