Explore this optionYOUR WEBSITE, BACKED UP
Small changes shouldn’t cost you everything.
Files and databases together
Back up an unlimited number of files and databases within your purchased storage allowance. Choose capacity around your actual website data and its growth.
Restore a file or a whole site
Roll back a single file or recover an earlier website version. Restore staging lets you test a backed-up site before completing the recovery.
Know when files change
File Change Alert Monitoring sends an email when website source files change. Review unexpected changes and use a clean restore point where appropriate.

MORE THAN A COPY
Backups that keep up with your website.
WordPress updates with recovery
The CodeGuard offering includes automatic WordPress and plugin updates with recovery if an update causes a problem. Check compatibility and keep a tested recovery process for your particular site.
Know what is protected
Mail stored in the website files can form part of a backup. A separate cloud mailbox service may need its own backup solution; don’t assume every email account is covered by a website backup.
A MISTAKE SHOULD HAVE A WAY BACKYesterday’s website
Yesterday’s website
could save today’s work.
A deleted folder or a plugin update can interrupt a working website. A separate backup gives you a previous version to return to while you investigate what happened.
CodeGuard connects to the website files and databases you choose. After the first backup, review alerts and make sure the data you depend on is actually included. A backup plan is only useful when you know how to recover from it.
- Back up the database too
For WordPress and many other applications, the database contains posts, settings and customer records. Files alone are not a complete working site.
- Choose a clean restore point
After a security incident, identify a version from before the problem and address the cause before reopening the site.
FROM SETUP TO EVERYDAY USE
Know your recovery process before you need it.
Connect
Set up access to the files and databases that need protection. Check that the initial backup completes.
Monitor
Review change alerts and backup status. Revisit storage capacity as your website and media library grow.
Restore
Select the file or website version you need. Use a test destination or staging option where appropriate.
Verify
Check key pages, forms and transactions after recovery. Confirm which newer changes need to be reapplied.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Frequently asked questions
Is CodeGuard the same as website security?+
No. A backup gives you a recovery copy. Website security focuses on detecting or blocking threats. CodeGuard includes monitoring and restore features, but you should still maintain your software and access controls.
How much storage should I choose?+
Measure the website files and databases you want to protect, then allow for growth. Confirm the retention policy and how stored versions count toward the allowance before ordering.
Can I restore only one file?+
Yes. The Coolhost CodeGuard offering supports restoring a single file or a whole site to a previous version.
Does it replace my hosting backup?+
CodeGuard provides an additional offsite recovery option. Review your existing hosting backup and restore arrangements so you know what each service covers.
