If you are thinking about moving your website or hosting account to HostGator, it is important to first make a backup of your site. HostGator offers a free backup service that makes it easy to save your site files, databases, and emails.

To make a backup of your HostGator site:

1. Log in to your HostGator account.

2. Click on the “Backup” link in the top left corner of the homepage.

3. Select the date and time of your backup.

4. Select the files and folders you want to include in your backup.

5. Click on the “Create Backup” button to begin the backup process.

6. Once your backup is complete, you can download the files to your computer or save them to a storage location.

If you are having trouble backing up your HostGator site, please contact our support team for help. Our team is happy to assist you in creating a backup or restoring your site files.

PRO TIP: Backing up your HostGator account is an important part of maintaining your website. However, it’s important to note that backing up your account does not backup your website files automatically. You will need to backup your website files separately.
