Evers Hosting makes a daily backup of all accounts. For a small fee you can ask us to have a full or partial Site Restore reinstated on your hosting package.
It’s possible to restore a single file or the entire account. The fee is to cover our time phishing out the files belonging to your account from the server’s diskimage.
Please allow up to 12 hours response time.
Managed Backup Plan
It’s pretty straight forward to make back-ups of all the website data, databases and e-mails from your hosting account. Visit the Backup Wizard in your cPanel and choose partial backup. Download the three plans to your computer. Restoring is just a reverse action.
As all cPanel mail is stored in /home/username/mail, a standard home directory backup would include the mail content.
Evers Hosting can automate this process for you for a small fee monthly. Using the cpRemote add-on you get an automatic backup tool that is fully compatible with cPanel and handles all backup option gracefully.

When you buy a domain it takes some time to propagate on the internet. In other words you have to wait for the domain to become available as a working address to your new website. In this case one can’t ‘play’ with their website yet, as there’s no way to see how it will appear on the internet. Your browser will most likely show a static welcome page with your hosting company’s logo and info.
The temporary URL was therefor called to life, usually looking something like this: http://1.2.3.4/~username. Not pretty but at least you could build your site while you wait for the real domain name to become active. All our cPanel clients have the ’tilde username’ option available.
Now, a lot of hosting providers disable the temporary URL feature and all you would see when you go to the temporary URL is: ”This function has been disabled”
There’s another way to use your new domain name immediately(!) while you build your website. Actually with this method it’s even possible to use the domain without yet buying it and see without time pressure if it ‘fits’. Try before buy! That’s the good news. The lesser good news is that only you will be able to see the website unless you share this trick with someone else, for feedback reasons or otherwise…
If you have a development hosting package on Evers Hosting you can use this method to try out different domain names easily.
Go to START > type ‘run’ without quotes in the search field > ENTER
Copy the following and hit OK:
notepad %systemroot%system32driversetcHOSTS
Add the following two lines to your ‘hosts’-file:
server ip www.yourdomainname.com
server ip yourdomainname.com
The information should be in an email you received from your hosting company. A server IP looks like 4 sets of digits separated by a dot. (e.g. 109.201.146.81)
Locate notepad (use ‘search’ from the start menu if you don’t know where it is). Right click notepad.exe and choose: run as administrator. From within notepad browse to the hosts file and make the changes.
Only use notepad, not Word, WordPad or anything.
Finally: Don’t forget to remove these lines once your domain becomes ‘live’.
This is so easy it’s silly:) Continue reading
