One of the most important plugins for your web directory/WordPress website is Updraft Plus. Updraft Plus is a backup plugin that copies and stores your website in a safe place just in case you mess something up. This plugin is inexpensive and has saved my butt many times.

For today's keyword, I will focus on Paintless Dent Repair Blog.

Welcome back to Casey's SEO and today for episode, four I'm building a web directory, I'm going to be looking at one of probably one of the most essential plugins that you guys are going to need for your WordPress website. Here we have updraft plus, so you can find a free version of this, and what updraft plus is is basically a plugin that will back up your website now with the free version you can back your website up onto your hosting provider or for with the premium Version you will be able to also send a copy of your backup to any type of online storage that you have. They also have some online storage that you can use for an additional cost. So if you've ever built a website and basically messed something up, and then you went, you know, oh, what am i going to do now? I have no backup of my site and i have just lost.

You know one years of work. If that's ever happened to you, you probably have some type of backup set in place that could be your hosting provider. Sometimes they have a backup package that you can purchase or is already free within your service, but with this plugin, it's very very simple. To use you can set it up, so you can have a new copy every single day. You can basically set it up, so you can just copy your database if you want or all your plugins your themes, you know make a complete backup every single day once a week once a month, whatever you want and then like i said you can even pay For that updated or pro version and get that sent to you know your computer um, not necessarily your computer, but any type of online storage which could be Dropbox.

I think you can do your google folders um. Was it, though, your one drive, there's multiple different options that you can go ahead and choose from, and it's really easy to set up so from the free version like i said, you only get to copy your website to your own hosting provider. Now, if you want to go ahead and pay for that premium version, which i recommend you do, if you build multiple websites now, what is nice with this premium version? Is you can essentially copy your website and copy it over to a different domain? Name?

Very quick and easily all you have to do is upload. This plugin to both sites get the key code from your main site copy it on over. You can go ahead and it will copy all the files and folders and everything over then there's also a button that you can check and it will then transfer over all the files that you have over to your new domain name and there you go. You have a whole website copied over to a different domain name in case you want to use. You know, part of that website again or whatever.

The case may be very, very simple to use. Now you have that free version. You have a personal option which is up to two websites and that right now is running at seventy dollars. For the year, you have business up to ten sites for roughly ninety five dollars, all the way up to enterprise, which is 195 right now, and that is for unlimited websites. I think i covered all the features but I'll go through the list here, just to see if i can find anything else, so we have scheduling and then, like i said, we have the updraft fault storage which you can use.

So you do get one gigabyte of free storage included and then you can go ahead and purchase more. You have your remote or your remote storage options. You have google drive Dropbox, oh amazon service, rackspace they used to have one or your. Was it your one drive? I'M not sure if they still have that but either way, and then you do have a WordPress network and multi-site options available and you have support so for a very, very cheap price.

You can back up all your website or all your websites make sure. If you do make a mistake, you can go ahead and copy that back over. Let's just say you deleted a plugin or the rom plugin. You can go ahead and back that up or restore that if you messed up something on the database and you can't figure it out, all you have to do is hit restore and obviously it will restore from the last place that you saved. It's also really nice.

If you need to update a plug-in, if you set it up um in this fashion, when you go ahead and hit update for a plugin, it will ask: do you want to make a copy of the website before you update this plugin, because this plugin, for example, Woocommerce could have a lot of impact on your website if something is incorrect or does not copy over correctly. So that is my plugin for this episode that you guys really need to have. There are many others out there, but this one's really easy to use and very affordable, and i haven't had any problems with it. I've been using it for about five years now, so go ahead and check out updraft plus I'll go ahead and leave a link below. If you guys have any questions, please let me know:
