At one stage or another, you are going to need a backup of your information. Whether it is due to data corruption or due to human error in deleting a file that was needed, backups can be a life saver.
Hands-on Web Hosting understands this importance and have made every effort to accomodate users in their backup needs. Inside the control panel with Hands-on Web Hosting you have the ability to create a backup and download it to your computer. You can also FTP the backup to another location or another server if you wanted to, but now we've gone one step further!
Automated Backups using r1Soft's CDP Backup software. Hands-on makes backups of your account every 4 hours and stores them on a separate server. What good is it to make a backup on the same server where corruption may have occurred? This is the common backup procedure with most hosting companies.
Hands-on Web Hosting makes a backup to a different machine and has configured the control panel to allow you to restore just a single file or folder or the entire site. You pick what you want, click a few buttons and the rest is automated. You'll be back in business in no time.
What about the MySQL Database you ask? - Not a problem, we have you covered there too. Along with our normal file backups, we also make MySQL Database backups. Restore a single table or the entire database, it's your choice. Please note that the restoration of MySQL Databases are currently NOT automated and a support ticket must be generated at http://support.handsonwebhosting.com for database restoration.
If you have any questions, our support staff will be happy to answer them for you. You can contact us via Live Help or through our support center at http://support.handsonwebhosting.com. The Automated Backup solution is currently enabled on all Version 5 systems (PHP5 / MySQL5) which is standard with our Shared Web Hosting packages.
Do you have a backup plan for when your dedicated server crashes? What will you do if your hard drive crashes or you have no way to access your files? Hands-on Web Hosting offers a Backup solution using r1soft's CDP Backup. Save yourself the headache, get a backup plan BEFORE your server fails!
Do you have a Dedicated Server or a Virtual Dedicated server that you need to have backed up? Not a problem, we can help there too. Even if you don't host with Hands-on Web Hosting, we can make your backups for you. You will need to provide us with ROOT access to the server so we can make them for you, and if you use cPanel (the most popular control panel for web hosting companies), we can integrate the backup system to your control panel for you and your clients also!
Individual Virtuozzo and OpenVZ VPS/VDS accounts are not currently supported at this time! These softwares, while operate as individual systems use a central Kernel and a single file system for the partition. For this reason if the software is installed on these two platforms it must be installed on the HARDWARE NODE and it will backup the ENTIRE machine.
Current pricing for the Dedicated Server and Virtual / Private Dedicated Servers are as follows:
| Disk Space | Monthly Price |
| 10 GB | $ 9.95 * |
| 30 GB | $19.95 * |

| 100 GB | $49.95 * |
* Setup fee of $9.95 applies
You can also backup UNLIMITED MySQL Databases for $15/month + $5.00 Setup Fee
