What Is Your Website Worth?

I don’t mean as in selling your website and moving to a tropical island. I mean, what is it really worth, to you? Or put in another way, what would it cost you to rebuild it should it disappear by mistake? How many hours have you spent building your website?
What happens if the website and all the work that went into building it are completely gone tomorrow?
Many website owners ignore the risk of losing their web site. There might be many causes for this to happen. Your hosting company may abruptly go out of business, for example. Or they had a server crash and their backup routine was not what they promised.
Or perhaps you did some major updates late at night, causing your site to become corrupt or overwritten. Either way, having backups of your website is a lifesaver. But when the problems occur, it is too late to put a backup process in place.
If you don’t have a proper backup solution for your website, get one right now. Before it is too late. And no, the backups offered by your website hosting company is not sufficient.
While being an extra safety net; who knows what backup they have should your site become corrupt, damaged, or inadvertently removed. And their backups don’t help at all should the company suddenly disappear and switch off their servers.
And so, you need to have your backup strategy in place. If your website runs on WordPress, many plugins do backup; either fully automatically, or semi-automatically.
Some options include:
- VaultPress
- BackupBuddy
- BackWPup
- BackUpWordpress
- UpdraftPlus
- Duplicator
- WP-DB-Backup
- MyRepono
Some backup plugins can be used to manually export a backup file to your local computer, while others do DropBox or Microsoft OneDrive.
A free simple backup plugin is better than no plugin. Now, check your backup solution!
