Creating Backups

It is HIGHLY recommended that you take backups of your database at least once per month in the event you need to restore data contained in the backup.

Assuming you have accessed phpMyAdmin and are on the database you want to backup…

  • Click Export at the top
  • Check the box next to Save as File
  • Type in a filename for the backup such as the database name and date
  • Next to Compression choose Zipped
  • Click Go

You should then be prompted to save a file as a download, this is your database backup, click OK or Accept and save it to your computer.

Restoring Backups

Taking a backup is important because at some point you will need to restore from one be it bad updates of your script or otherwise.

Assuming you have your backup file and are in the database you have accessed the database you need to restore your backup into…

  • Click Import at the top
  • Click Choose.. and find the backup file on your computer
  • Click Go

You should now be in the process of restoring your backup, keep in mind the more data involved, the longer the process takes.

Databases are the engines behind many scripts, they store the account information, the content and much more.

Managing DNS Records

Custom DNS records can be useful when you want to use third-party services for certain functions or to provide enhanced functionality to your site using your domain.

Using Subdomains

Subdomains are easy ways to expand your site into various sections or sub-sites, for instance you can have forums.example.com for your forums for easy and direct access.

Using Parked Domains

A parked domain is much like having two or more addresses for one site, for instance you could have the .net and .org versions of your domain all parked on the .com add-on domain so all three load the same website.

Using Add-on Domains

If you have your own domain (eg. .COM, .NET, .CO.CC, etc…) you can easily use it with our service to build your site under your own domain through Add-on Domains which essentially allows you to run more than one site under an account.
