Dropbox is a well-known cloud file storage platform. Different from a web hosting service where you can have an Internet site that's accessible online by entering a domain name, Dropbox permits you to store files, that you can access through their application using a personal computer or a smart phone. The files aren't executed, so an html file will be listed and not shown as an actual web page. The service allows you to access your data from any location as long as you log in with the right credentials. As the company allows third-party firms to use their API, we have taken advantage of this service and we give you the opportunity to generate regular automatic backups of the info you have on our end to a Dropbox account provided you have enough space. This shall add one more level of security for your Internet sites simply because you will always have a copy of any information that you may need and if the application is installed on your PC, a copy shall be available not just on their hosting servers, but also in a folder on your end.
Dropbox Backups in Website Hosting
You could use Dropbox for backups whatever the website hosting service that you choose when you sign up and the feature shall be available inside the Hepsia CP supplied with all accounts. Linking one or even multiple Dropbox accounts takes only a couple of mouse clicks and as soon as the connection with our system is set up, you'll be able to pick if all your information shall be backed up there or only specific Internet sites and databases. This depends upon the size of the data you have on our end and the amount of space you have inside your Dropbox account. The number of backups that you may have ranges from three to 14 and our system will generate a new one every day, so you can have a copy of your info for up to fourteen days back and you shall be able to access them on your PC as standard files and folders. You will be able to change the websites or the number of backups anytime. This functionality is a great addition to the backups which we shall keep of your whole content 4 times per day. If you no longer want your Dropbox account to be linked to our system, you can remove it with simply a mouse click within your CP.
Dropbox Backups in Dedicated Hosting
You could link a Dropbox account to any of our Linux dedicated hosting provided you order it with the in-house built Hepsia CP. The setup is very simple and takes only a couple of mouse clicks, so you could have a copy of your content both on the Dropbox servers and on your personal computer the exact same day you link the 2 accounts. If you do not have a lot of space in Dropbox or you have lots of content on the dedicated server and you don't require all of it, you could pick particular domain or subdomain folders and databases to be backed up along with how many copies to be stored at one time. Our system is rather flexible, and so you can change the sites and the amount of daily backups whenever you want. The Dropbox account can be disconnected whenever you want, thus if you no longer would like to employ the service or you've decided to use our in-house backup service in addition to all other administration tasks we offer with our Managed Services upgrade, you'll be able to disable this function with just a mouse click.
