When a website crashes, every minute offline costs you in sales, leads, search rankings, and reputation. Many hosting providers promise backups, but when it’s time to restore them, those “guarantees” suddenly disappear.
That is where Guaranteed Website Backups make a real difference. Instead of only offering backup tools, Pressific stands behind every site it hosts and takes full responsibility for the safety and recoverability of your data.
What Most Hosts Mean by “Backups”
Most hosting companies proudly advertise that backups are “included.” What they really mean is they provide access to backup tools or plugins. Whether those backups actually work when disaster strikes is another matter entirely.
If your site gets hacked, corrupted, or accidentally deleted, and the backup fails, it becomes your problem. The fine print often says the host isn’t liable for lost data or failed restores.
In other words, they offer the tool but not the accountability.
What Guaranteed Website Backups Actually Mean
Guaranteed website backups are a commitment, not a checkbox feature. They mean your website’s data is always recoverable, and if something goes wrong, your hosting provider takes full responsibility for fixing it.
Pressific’s Guaranteed Website Backups are exactly that. We don’t just store data; we safeguard your business.
Here’s what the guarantee includes:
- Your website is always recoverable to a version no older than seven days.
- Restores are fast and handled by humans who know your site.
- We maintain multiple backup layers, and yes, we back up the backups.
- Restores use backups from within seven days of when we identify the issue.
- For major outages or widespread hacks, we’re often the first to detect the problem and act.
- If a restore ever fails, we’ll rebuild your entire site at no cost.
- Every restoration is free, with no hidden fees, no fine print gotchas.
That’s what separates a marketing promise from a real guarantee.
Why Guaranteed Backups Matter
Backups are not just a safety net; they’re a fundamental component of a comprehensive website security strategy. As highlighted by Sucuri, “Website backups represent your safety net. They are the critical piece of security necessary if all other resources fail.”
Without guaranteed backups, you’re exposed to risks like:
- Plugin or theme conflicts that crash your site
- Malware or hacks that corrupt data
- Human error, such as accidental deletion
- Server failures or data corruption
- Failed updates that take your site offline
Even a short outage can have serious consequences. Having a reliable backup system ensures that your website can be restored quickly and completely, minimising potential damage.
The Difference Between “Included” and “Guaranteed”
Let’s be blunt: most “included” backups are just marketing filler. They often come with limitations like:
- Only 24–48 hours of backup storage
- Extra fees for manual restores
- Limited or no support if the restore fails
- No testing or verification that backups even work
That’s like selling a parachute and saying, “It probably opens.”
Guaranteed website backups, on the other hand, mean your host takes active responsibility for your data’s safety. If something goes wrong, they fix it, not you.
Client-Side Changes: The Most Common Cause of Issues
One of the most frequent causes of issues is client-side changes. These happen when someone on the client’s team edits, deletes, or adjusts something, such as page content, plugins, themes, or settings, that affects how the site works. If these changes aren’t carefully managed, they can lead to unexpected crashes or performance problems, which is why having guaranteed backups ensures you’re always prepared for the unexpected.
How Pressific’s Guarantee Protects You
At Pressific, we take full responsibility for your website’s data integrity. You’ll never have to wonder whether your backups are valid; we have already checked that for you.
When something happens, you get:
- Fast restores handled by experts familiar with your specific setup
- Multiple layers of backups, including secure off-site copies
- Peace of mind, knowing we can restore your site from within seven days of the issue being detected
If disaster strikes, our team moves quickly to bring your website back, typically within 24 hours for local issues like hacks or corrupted plugins.
For global catastrophes, such as when a major cloud provider like Google Cloud, AWS, or Microsoft Azure experiences an outage (or, in the truly unfortunate case of alien attacks), we’ll get to work as soon as they come back online.
And if all backup regions and offline copies are obliterated by intergalactic invaders? It may take a little longer. But we’ll still rebuild your site.
The Value of a Real Guarantee
To our knowledge, no one guarantees backups the way we do. There’s simply nothing else quite like it in the market.
If we had to put a price tag on it, the value would be around $40 / £30, but the real worth is in peace of mind. And that’s priceless.
When your business depends on uptime, guaranteed backups aren’t an extra; they’re essential insurance for your online presence.
The Fine Print (In the Same Font)
Restoration time depends on the cause. Localised issues (like a hacked site) are typically restored within 24 hours.
- If a major provider such as Google, AWS, Cloudflare, or Microsoft is down, restoration will resume once they’re back online.
- If aliens destroy all backup regions and offline copies, we’ll rebuild. It just might take longer.
This guarantee applies to the WordPress websites we manage and host under Pressific Plus, Pro, and Max plans while your account is active.
It does not cover email services, domains, rankings, estimated business losses, or services purchased elsewhere.
