Website Backup Services

In a world of growing security threats and malicious attacks, unfortunately, things happen. A site gets hacked or crashes, and you need to be able to react quickly. Disaster recovery can be expensive at best, and the loss of sensitive data can be potentially fatal for a business. Downtime means loss of business, which means a loss of revenue and reputation. Having a backup option in place can help you minimize reaction time during a disaster. Our backup plans are flexible. You can choose the disc space that will give you enough storage space to have at least 3-4 backed up versions of the site. It can literally save the day!

In most cases, your hosting provider does not take the responsibility of having a backup and restore plans in place for your website. Keeping a physical copy of your site downloaded offline every day is time-consuming and unreliable. What if you forget? What if you don’t have time? What if you are traveling? It is just not smart to entrust data security to someone’s diligence, even if it is your own. When you sign up for a backup solution from Ballistic Domains, we take care of ensuring an automatic backup happens every day. Restoring from a backup is easy, and our 24/7 Mission Control support team is always at hand to help you in the event of a crisis.

Just as a web hosting provider is not required to maintain a backed up version of your site, they are not required to scan your website for viruses, malware, spyware or other malicious code. With malicious attacks on the rise by the day, the risk of it happening to you is pretty high. Even if you have website security systems in place, having automatic website backup set up is still necessary. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Many people make the mistake of saving a copy of the original website on an external hard drive and believe that’s enough. We are sorry to tell you that it is not. Sure, having a copy of the original site layout and content is great, but if anything has changed your initial site is already redundant . You won’t have the details of your new subscribers or new customers, the website data in your original file would be outdated . You won’t have the latest version of your content management system (CMS) or plugins, all the optimizations you did since you took the site live would be lost. You will literally have to re-build and implement all the changes one-by-one. The loss of customer data can often be permanent causing irreparable damage to your business.
