My Hosting Provider Includes Backups. Why Save My Website Elsewhere?
Backups on the local machine must happen. Just using the server backup is not enough. There are several reasons for this but the biggest one is that if for any reason your website goes down because your hosting service has not been paid for, and the hosting company’s policy has a time-frame before permanent account deletion, all of the work that has been put into the website will be lost and then you’re looking at having to pay for a rebuild. Remember, keeping up with hosting services are the responsibility of the website owner, not the developer who has built it.
This means you would pay full price for a website you could have easily restored by paying a small fee to have backed up on a local drive while being maintained.
