The Importance Of Backing Up Your Website

At the heart of every website is data in the form of computer files performing various functions

. These could be text files conveying sales information to customers, image files, and perhaps video and audio files, if your site has a multimedia component. Then there are the all-important system files, powering your website behind the scenes. Finally there could be an underlying database which is storing user information tied to forum activity or e-commerce transactions.

Imagine losing it all. The thought is none too pleasant, but accidents happen, in the form of hackers breaking in to servers and wreaking havoc, or unexpected physical damage to a server caused by fire or vandalism. Viruses and malware can also cause problems with website data.

If you have website hosting from EUKHost, you will find we take all necessary steps to prevent such risks. With affordable web hosting from EUKHost, you will find our servers are housed in state of the art data centres, which are highly secure, fire-resistant, and air conditioned. More crucially with website hosting by EUKHost, your site will get regular backups whatever hosting package you are on, from the most the most affordable to the most feature-packed.

Backup is probably the key component in any data preservation strategy, and it should not stop with your website hosting company. You should also make sure your personal copy of the website, whether it is stored on a home or work computer, is regularly backed up. The following strategy works well:

Buy an external hard drive, and run a hard disk imaging programme to regularly backup the site to the external drive. Then complement this with an internet based backup service. These are now available at very reasonable cost, and sometimes the first 2GB (which might be all you need for your site), comes free.
