A backup every hour
Files and database together, taken automatically every hour once you turn it on. Each one is labelled Hourly in the website’s backup list.
Add-on
A backup every hour for a website
Every website we host is backed up every night. For a website that changes during the day, such as a shop taking orders, add hourly backups and go back to any hour of the last two days.
- Every houra backup of files and database
- 48 hoursof hourly backups kept
- Nightlybackups carry on as before
What it is
Your plan already backs up every website we host once a night and keeps those backups for as long as the plan says. If something goes wrong in the afternoon, the newest copy can be many hours old.
Hourly backups add a backup of the website’s files and database every hour, for one website at a time. The last 48 hours are kept, so you can go back to any hour of the last two days. Your nightly backups are not changed.
What you get
Hourly restore points beside the nightly ones, in the same backup list.
The last 48 hours
Hourly backups are kept for 48 hours and then removed on their own. They never take the place of a nightly backup.
Restore in one step
Press Restore beside the hour you want. We back up the website as it is first, so a restore can be undone.
Stop when you like
Stop renewing at any time. Hourly backups carry on to the end of the month you paid for, and nothing already backed up is removed early.
How it works
Open the website
In your dashboard, choose the website and open its Backups page.
Turn on hourly backups
Press Turn on hourly backups and pay in the same window.
Let it run
The first hourly backup runs within the hour, and one more every hour after that.
What it costs
A monthly charge per website, on the same invoice as your hosting.
Hourly backups
$1.50/month
Nightly backups stay included in your plan. Add-ons are bought per site from your dashboard and appear on your normal invoice — no separate account, no second bill and no minimum term. Prices exclude tax, which is worked out from your billing country at checkout.
Questions
Do I still get nightly backups?
Yes. Nightly backups carry on exactly as your plan says. Hourly backups are added on top and never replace a nightly one.
How far back can I go?
To any hourly backup from the last 48 hours, and to any nightly backup your plan keeps.
What happens if a payment is missed?
Hourly backups pause while a payment is overdue and start again on their own once it is paid. Nothing already backed up is deleted early.
Can I use it for a website hosted somewhere else?
No. Hourly backups are for websites we host whose hosting can be backed up. Websites hosted elsewhere have their own external backup plans.
Is it per website?
Yes. You turn it on for each website that needs it, and each one is charged separately.
