Website Backup
A website backup is a snapshot of all your website’s important components. Therefore, making backups of your website is an important part of regular site maintenance. You don’t want to be left without a backup of your site should something happen.
Website Down
Have you ever visited a website to find an error message or find it in maintenance mode? How did your view of the website and company change upon finding that? Many visitors will hit the back button and move on to a different search result for their source of information.
Causes of Website Crashes
Websites can be down for a variety of reasons. They can be caused by outside individuals as well as individuals associated directly with the website itself.
Here are some reasons why websites go down:
- The developer makes some mistakes while creating or updating a site
- The website is broken
- The server hosting your website crashes
- Viruses infect your site and take it down
- Theme and plugin updates are completed incorrectly
Is Your Website Down?
If it is your website that is showing the error message, maintenance mode, or worse yet down completely, this can create a huge problem for you and your customers. If someone does land on your site and finds it in this mode, statistics show that they might never return to your website again. Therefore, it is vital that you can remedy the website problem quickly and efficiently to keep it fluid for your users.
The Need for a Backup
A backup for your website is the main guarantee that your site can be restored after any problems or crashes. These problems can arise from the inadvertent deletion of important elements, a theme issue, a plugin not working properly, or your website getting hacked.
A website backup is necessary! Having a backup provides safety for you as well as it gives you a fluid means to restore the site for limited downtime. Websites go down daily for a variety of reasons. Everyone is concerned about hackers getting into their sites and causing havoc. But statistics show that most owners and developers are the ones that cause sites to go down.
