Dropbox is a popular cloud file storage platform. Unlike a web hosting service where you can have a website which is accessible online by inputting a domain, Dropbox permits you to store files, which you can access from their application using a personal computer or a smartphone. The files are not executed, so an html file shall be listed and not displayed as an actual site. The service allows you to access your content from any location as long as you log in with the right credentials. As the firm allows third-party companies to use their API, we have taken advantage of this service and we offer you the opportunity to produce regular automatic backups of the data you have on our end to a Dropbox account as long as you have sufficient space. This shall add one more level of security for your sites as you will always have a copy of any info that you may require and if the application is installed on your PC, a copy shall be available not only on their hosting servers, but also within a folder on your end.
Dropbox Backups in Cloud Website Hosting
You can use the Dropbox backup feature with all cloud website hosting plans that we offer and at no extra cost. Using the respective section within the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to link a Dropbox account with a couple of clicks and the backups will start being produced there the same day. You'll be able to select the websites and databases that shall be copied there individually, so if you have plenty of content on our end or a small disk quota with Dropbox, you'll be able to choose only the content that you really need. You can also pick the number of backups that'll be kept in your Dropbox account, ranging from 3 to fourteen, so you could have a daily copy of your information going two weeks back. Including several accounts or deleting one which you no longer want to use is equally easy. The Dropbox backups can be used together with the daily backups that we keep of all your data just in case that you would like to have a copy on your laptop or computer via the Dropbox app.
Dropbox Backups in VPS Servers
All VPS server accounts that are set up with our innovative Hepsia CP come with the Dropbox backup function by default, therefore if you want to take advantage of this feature, you only need to link the two accounts with a few mouse clicks and our system will begin creating copies of your content every day. You shall be able to pick what will be backed up - particular domain folders and databases or the entire data, as well as how many copies shall be stored on the Dropbox service - from three to fourteen. These options are determined by the size of the websites on the Virtual private server and the free space which you have with Dropbox and they could be modified anytime, supplying you with more flexibility. The function can be disabled with simply a mouse click in the respective section of Hepsia if you no longer wish to use your Dropbox account for backups. We also provide a regular backup of your information with the Managed Services upgrade, which includes a wide variety of other administration services.
