If you are already using us for website hosting then you can rest easy as we already backup your website every day and store it offsite.
However if you do not use us for website hosting or would like your own local website backup then you can easily do this through your cPanel control panel.
Using this process will allow you to backup your website and database so no matter if you design your own website or use WordPress you will have a copy of your entire website.

First, log into your cPanel control panel and click on the Backup Wizard option under the Files sub-header:
-
Next, click on Backup:
-
And then Full Backup:
-
Enter your email address if you want to be notified when the backup has completed(it can take up to 60 minutes or more, depending on the size of your website).Then click on Generate Backup:
-
cPanel will begin to backup your website, which places a zip file containing your websites files and databases in your account. Once it is complete, you will receive an email with the link to download your backup. It is also available in cPanel for download in the *“Full Backup”*section:
