Backing Up Your Website

Back up your files
If you make frequent changes to your website, it’s important to periodically make a backup file of your website and blog/articles. Every blog entry and page that you create or edit is stored on your website hosting company’s server. However, the best way to guarantee that you have a current backup, in the unlikely event your host company server fails or is affected by a virus (it’s rare, but it can happen), is to create backup files.

Don’t want to perform regular backups?  Just request a website backup ($25 service fee)…

How to Backup Your Website:
