Hosted.com has continued its partnership with Acronis for enterprise-grade backup and website recovery tools, which are integrated directly into its hosting platform. This allows clients to manage site recovery and website protection with minimal effort while maintaining consistent uptime and data integrity.
Why Backups Are So Important
Cyberattacks, site crashes and human error are among the top causes of small business disruptions, often resulting in extended downtime and lost revenue.
Without a backup, a broken or hacked site may remain offline for hours or days while a site owner attempts to recover it manually. This may also include requiring a rebuild depending on the severity of the issue.
For ecommerce stores or sites with frequent content updates, backups are not optional – they are essential. Although manual backups or third-party plugins are generally dependable, they can sometimes produce incomplete, outdated, or unsuccessful backups.
Automated backup systems, particularly those at the server level, are among the most effective methods of protecting sensitive files and data from hacking attempts, malware, and accidental deletion.
Acronis offers a multi-layer solution that combines backup, malware scanning, and restoration. Hosted.com’s implementation builds on this with simplified restorations should the worst happen via their cPanel dashboard. This means clients don’t necessarily need backend support, additional plugins or separate software. This is about simplifying site management while providing peace of mind.
Wayne Diamond, CEO of Hosted.com, stated:
“Having Acronis as a major part of our infrastructure allows our clients, whether small businesses, startups or freelancers, to maintain control and security without needing specialized tools. This helps us guarantee that their files and data are protected and recoverable at all times while keeping the hosting experience as accessible and user-friendly as possible.”
Features and Benefits
The continued Hosted.com-Acronis partnership offers the following benefits for clients:
- Daily Automated Backups: Full-site snapshots are performed every 24 hours, ensuring the entire website is protected without the need for scheduling or doing them manually, thus helping avoid data loss due to malware, human error, or software & hardware failures.
- Multiple Recovery Options: Through an intuitive interface, users can independently restore full websites or specific components, such as folders, configuration files, or databases, without backend experience or technical support. This reduces downtime and improves their control through the whole process.
- Reduced Downtime: Acronis’s rapid recovery tools shorten the time between a site failure and full restoration. Businesses can maintain continuity and minimize the financial and online reputational impact if a website does go down.
- Integrated Threat Detection: Acronis includes malware protection that detects threats before they can affect the backups. This prevents infections from spreading through to the live website and subsequently, its visitors.
- Secure Storage: Encrypted backups are stored at the server level, protecting data from unauthorized access and ensuring availability in the event of a site crash or a security breach.
- Compatibility: Seamless integration with cPanel allows Hosted.com to deliver Acronis’s features without requiring technical configuration knowledge from customers.
These features offer a particular advantage to small and medium-sized businesses, many of which lack the resources for custom backup solutions. By embedding backup and disaster recovery into its core services, Hosted.com helps ensure accessibility without sacrificing control or security.
By enabling full-site and selective recovery options, Hosted.com helps businesses protect essential website content such as product catalogs, customer information, financial records, etc.
