Use a backup plugin on any WordPress site you care about. You should use a backup plugin even if you have other forms of backup active. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/cpanel\/cpanel-backups\/\">cPanel backups<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/blog\/backup-manager-set-it-and-forget-it\/\">Backup Manager<\/a> work differently from a WordPress backup plugin. Each tool solves a different problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The larger a backup is, the longer it takes to restore. Restoring a full account backup to recover one site is a tedious waste of time. WordPress backups are much smaller than full disk backups; this means that WordPress backups restore quickly and easily. As a bonus, many backup plugins let you store backups \u2018off site\u2019.

Part of site security is using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/ssl\/auto-ssl-guide\/\">SSL certificate<\/a>. Having an SSL installed is what causes your site URL to use \u2018https\u2019 instead of \u2018http\u2019. Major browsers like Chrome will warn visitors to avoid a site if it is not using \u2018https\u2019.
