HOSTDOG creates automated daily backups of every shared hosting account. If you need to undo a mistake, recover deleted files, or roll back a database, you can restore from one of these backups directly in your hosting control panel. This guide walks you through the entire process.

Every HOSTDOG shared hosting account includes automated daily backups at no extra cost. Your website files, databases, email accounts, and server settings are all copied to a secure location every day — giving you a safety net against accidental changes, failed updates, or data loss.

This guide shows you how to create a manual backup of your website files, databases, and email accounts using the backup tools in your hosting control panel. You will also learn how to download the backup to your local computer for safekeeping.
