We only backup your WordPress Files, WordPress directories, and the WordPress Database. We do not backup files or directories that are not part of the WordPress installation. We store the number of backup files allowed according to your plan. We store the backup files in Amazon S3 secure storage services servers so that your data is safe. The total space consumed by your website’s WordPress files and database file must be less than the maximum allowed by your subscription plan as specified in our plans and pricing page. If your website’s backup exceeds the amount allowed by your plan, then you must upgrade to a higher plan. A typical WordPress business Website is less than 1 GB. If your website is bigger than 1GB, which is the maximum allowed by our professional plan, we will be glad to accommodate your business needs by charging you an additional fee for each extra 1 GB of data. We will inform you of that fee at the time that you exceed the 1 GB and you will not be charged for the first backup exceeding the 1 GB.

By subscribing to one of our plans, you authorise us to update all of the WordPress core files, the active theme, and all of the active plugins as needed.

We perform all updates after confirming that your website was successfully backed up. We will only update plugins and themes that are compatible with the version of WordPress that you have installed. We will only update the WordPress core files if all your plugins are compatible with the latest version of WordPress. If after performing any update, your website is not working as it should, we will restore your website for free to how it was before the update. When a new release of a plugin or theme is available, it can take us up to 72 hours to perform the updates because we first need to verify that the updates are compatible with your current WordPress version.  We will update inactive themes and plugins for security reasons but we highly recommend that you delete all inactive themes and plugins.
