Backups

With or without daily backups – what's the difference?

Every plan includes backup and restore tools, so you can create and download copies of your website yourself. That is a good fit if you keep your own backup routine or your site rarely changes.

Plans with daily premium backups go further: your website, databases and email are saved automatically every day. You get 30 days of website snapshots, 60 days of database snapshots and 30 days of email snapshots – and you can restore a single file or folder in moments.

Our recommendation: if your website brings in leads or sales, or if several people edit it, choose the version with daily backups.

Automatic timeline backups every day
Restore individual files and folders
Longer history for databases

Billing

Monthly or yearly billing?

Monthly billing keeps you flexible – ideal when you are testing an idea or need hosting for a short-term project.

Yearly billing is the smarter choice for websites that are here to stay: you pay for a full year in advance and get two months free. The plan and features are exactly the same either way.

See prices for both

Small, Business or Unlimited?

Within WordPress and Linux hosting, choose your plan by the number of websites you want to run.

Plan	Websites	Typical use
Small	Up to 10	A personal site, a small business website or a handful of side projects
Business	Up to 50	Companies with several brands, landing pages or language versions
Unlimited	Up to 1000	Large portfolios of websites managed from one account

Databases, mailboxes, FTP accounts, subdomains and domains are available up to the number of websites in your plan.

Questions about choosing hosting

Can I run WordPress on Linux hosting?

Yes, WordPress is one of the 80+ one-click apps on our Linux plans. If WordPress is your main platform, WordPress hosting is the better choice because it adds staging, cloning and the WordPress Manager.

When do I need a managed cloud server instead of shared hosting?

A cloud server makes sense when a project needs guaranteed resources of its own, a specific cloud provider or a location outside our shared hosting data centers. For most websites and shops, our shared plans are more than enough.

Is WooCommerce hosting different from WordPress hosting?

WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so it benefits from all WordPress tools. Our WooCommerce hosting page explains how PCI compliant hosting, caching and bot protection help keep online shops quick and safe.

Can I switch between monthly and yearly billing?

Get in touch with our team and we will help you change your billing period. The features of your plan stay exactly the same.

Do I need daily backups if I already back up myself?

Not necessarily. Our backup and restore tools are included in every plan. Daily premium backups add automatic, versioned snapshots and are worth it for sites that change frequently or earn money.

Which data center location should I choose?

Pick the United Kingdom if most of your visitors are in Europe, the United States for North American audiences or Singapore for visitors in Asia and Australia. Our CDN speeds up delivery to visitors in other regions.
