UK-Cheapest Web Hosting regularly makes backup copies of information stored on its servers for disaster recovery purposes.
Nevertheless, availability of backups is not guaranteed and we will not be responsible for loss of customer data.
Customers are advised to make regular backups of the information they store on our servers. The Plesk control panel provides tools that facilitate full data backup and restoration.
It is important to make regular backups of your web site hosting account from using the Backup Manager in Plesk. It is also possible to backup your database separately by using the Webadmin tool under the Databases section of your Plesk control panel.
If you have any problems with backing up / restoring your site in Plesk, please submit a ticket to our HelpDesk.
