Any Good Wordpress plugin can do a full backup for a site?

White Night · Dec 1, 2019

I'm moving from Hostwinds to A2hosting and the migration team from A2 hosting said that the full backup option is disabled on my Hostwinds account.
I need to request myhost to do a backup of your account (the command is /scripts/pkgacct [user]

And here is what hostwinds reply:

"Our services do not come with any backup service by default, but can be added for $1/month for a VPS or Dedicated Server and $3/month for any hosting plan, to have us to make nightly backups for you, and $0.03/GB/month, or about $0.00004/GB/hour, to store those backups. You can also make your own backups of the server through the Cloud Control Portal, and would only need to pay for the storage of the backup."

Is there any solution to back up the account without buying another VPS or DEdicated Server & Pay them the fee just to back up the site? My site is small just have around 18k words only

is there any wordpress plugin can do a full backup?

Thanks and Regards,

Updraft Plus is working fine for me

BackUpWordpress or Duplicator. Both of them are really great but I personally recommend the Duplicator.

Can personally vouch for Updraft Plus. It saved my site once.

Thank you so much, I will check that,
May I ask do we need a premium version or the free version is enough?

Updraft plus is the best plugin to take backup and restore. Its a free plugin and it has the functionality of storing the backup to cloud storage also.

free is enough, make sure u link your cloud (google drive). I create a new backup every post then delete an old backup.

Thank you guys, I already finish migrate the site to another hosting. But I got this error after checking the site with gtmetrix

"Analysis Error
The SSL certificate being used on this website was issued for another website's address

Check that the correct certificate is installed or purchase a new certificate for the site."

Seem like I have to buy another SSL after migrate the site

don't buy any ssl. buy one only if you have too much money (if true, then send some $$$ my way). instead find my thread where I uploaded a clean version of Duplicator. When you've moved the site, transfer your domain to cloudflare. they will give you a free certificate.

Most shared hosts now provide free Let’s Encrypt SSL. You can use it or another alternative is Cloudflare SSL.

I use their free letsencrypt ssl and cloudflare ssl. letsencrypt need to be renewed every 3 months so they run an autossl script for all your sites that renews automatically.

Updraft plus and if you pray to the Wordpress god : @Festinger he’ll grant you it too.

Updraft Plus is easy to use. once you installed the plugin you can connect your gmail for backup.
its working fine for me.
Highly recommended

Thank you guys, After moving from Hostwinds to A2 Hosting Turbo plan, my site load faster a lot
Save a lots of money for the deal $80/year instead of paying $15.99/month before for hosting

Personally, I started with All-In-One migration. Tried Updraft and duplicator after they remove the free restore from file option. Ended up buying the plugin for AIO because restorations always works perfectly.

All in one is not stable enough.

Many people included me faced the stuck problem, like import stuck at 0%, 60% 55% and any numbers, no matter what u do, the officials even have no available methods to fix that, and if I am right, the restoration from backup file option also went to paid now.

It nearly ruined my website, but finally I used another trick to get it done, but its so unreliable, I am almost pissed.

Any Good Wordpress plugin can do a full backup for a site?
