3. Limited or No Backups
Regular Website Backups
In most cases new users are unaware of the importance of WordPress backups. New users often rely on built-in or automatic features to maintain their WordPress site. Which means the responsibility of backups is quite often left to the web host.
Every good host like WPEngine will take regular backups of your website and retain them up to 30 days. Continuing with WPEngine as an example, backups are automatically taken on a daily basis. This are encrypted and downloaded over HTTPS for security. And they include your site database as well as your uploads for a fairly complete backup.
While budget web hosting options like Bluehost and Siteground include simple Country Email List site backups as a standard feature, the chances of a free or dirt cheap web host taking regular backups are pretty slim. Even if they do, there’s going to be unacceptable size limitations and short backup retainment periods (if at all). As a bonus, they might even charge you for restoring a backup.
You should always, always, always have a recent and complete backup of your website. This is a key point of any general site maintenance or security checklist for a reason. If your site goes down for any reason (server issues, plugin conflicts, hacked theme or something else) a backup ensures you can put your site back to the way it was. If you haven’t been taking backups and your web host hasn’t either you’ll be pretty much out of luck, and that’s not where you want to be.
4. Inexperienced Support
First of all, response to a ticket is going to be slow. You and who knows how many other people are all likely running into similar issues and submitting tickets. To make it worse, there might not even be a proper support software. I’ve seen “free” hosting sites that rely on a contact email.
