How Do I Request a Website Backup?

Website backups are handled through our support process rather than through the WordPress dashboard or cPanel. We do not support third-party website backup plugins. If you need a copy of your website or have a question about restoring an earlier version, submit a support request.

When to request a backup

Consider contacting support before major website changes, a migration, extensive content updates, or any activity where you may need a recovery copy. You can also contact support if you need to explore whether an earlier version can be restored.

How to request a backup

  1. Open your agency’s official support portal.
  2. Select the option to submit a support ticket.
  3. Enter a subject such as Website Backup Request — example.com.
  4. Include the website domain and explain whether you need a backup copy, a possible restore, or information about available recovery points.
  5. For a restore inquiry, provide the approximate date or time you want to restore to and describe what changed or went wrong.
  6. Submit the request and await confirmation of what is available and the next steps.

Why we do not support backup plugins

Backup plugins can place additional load on a website, store large archives in the hosting account, and interfere with managed backup or maintenance processes. Please do not install or configure a backup plugin as a substitute for requesting a backup through support.

What to expect

Support will review the website, the requested backup or restore point, and any applicable service-plan limitations. Backup availability, recovery dates, file delivery, turnaround, and possible charges must be confirmed for your account. A backup or restoration is not guaranteed until support verifies the options.

Important before a restore

Restoring an earlier version of a website may overwrite newer changes, including content edits, form entries, or orders. If your site collects time-sensitive information, tell support before any restoration is performed.
