Automated Backups - Does your host do it for you?

We've all heard about the importance of making a backup. Most of the time we never think about backups, and for most people they haven't made a backup of their HOME computer in months (if ever). Websites, unfortunately are the same way. Most people do not make backups of their sites, and are left scrambling when something dramatic happens.

At Hands-on Web Hosting, we believe that nobody should be without a backup, and we encourage and remind our clients on a regular basis to make backups. We have a simple backup tool within our control panel to allow users to make an entire backup of their site and then download that file to their home computer. The backup would contain everything from Files, Databases, EMails and even Stats. Most web hosts do not allow this ability!

Hands-on Web Hosting goes one step further with Automated Backups! Not only do you now have the ability to make backups of your own (and we still encourage you to do so), but Hands-on Web Hosting will also make backups of your files for free. We not only make regular backups, but we even store a copy of DELETED files, just in case you deleted a file that you needed later. One accounts are terminated, all backups are removed from our system. We do not keep backups if your account is cancelled or terminated.

Hands-on Web Hosting utilizes the CDP (Continuous Data Protection) software by www.r1soft.com. The program interfaces with our control panel, and users can not only restore their entire site, but also just particular files or the database. It's a really neat system that you just have to try it to see how it works.

All new hosting accounts with Hands-on Web Hosting, and all accounts running on the PHP5/MySQL5 platform offered by Hands-on Web Hosting come with the Data Protection modules pre installed.

Many hosts are finally starting to offer the CDP software as part of their hosting package, but they're also charging! Hands-on Web Hosting gives you the added bonus of backup protection for free!
