InMotion Hosting offers a free backup service for accounts under 10GB on shared, VPS, or Reseller hosting plans. However, we always recommend that you keep regular backups you manage stored off the server. It is also wise to create website backups before performing website updates or making other major changes. As a VPS hosting reseller<\/a> it is of critical importance to make sure you always have redundant backups on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
