Peace of mind

Backup and restore

Automatic, reliable, and granular. Restore what you need, when you need it.

Daily automated backups

Your files and databases are backed up automatically every day. Backups run on geographically independent backup servers, not on your hosting server.

14-day retention

Backups are kept for 14 days, giving you two weeks of restore points. Enough time to catch issues even if you don't notice them immediately.

Granular restore

Restore individual files, specific directories, or single databases. No need to roll back everything when you only need one file.

One-click full restore

Need everything back? Restore your entire account - files, databases, and configuration - with a single click from the dashboard.

Migration tool

Moving your WordPress site from another host? Our SSH-based migration tool transfers your files, databases, and settings automatically. No manual work required.

Backup downloads

Download any backup snapshot to your local machine. Files are prepared on cloud storage with a secure link that expires in 24 hours.

Moving to Hostney

WordPress migration made simple

Provide access

Enter your old host's SSH credentials. We connect securely and start the transfer.

Automatic transfer

WordPress files, databases, and settings are moved automatically. No zip files, no manual exports.

Verify and switch

Check everything looks right before switching your DNS. Your old backups stay intact.

What gets migrated

All website files

HTML, PHP, images, uploads - everything in your web root

MySQL databases

All databases and users with their permissions intact

Email settings

MX records and email configuration carried over

DNS records

Your existing DNS zone is replicated automatically

Most migrations complete in minutes. We handle the heavy lifting so you don't have to.

Did you know

Your websites are protected by behavioral bot detection

Every Hostney server runs built-in behavioral bot detection with 20+ scoring signals, proof-of-work challenges, and cross-server bans. Malicious traffic is stopped before it can compromise your sites or waste your resources.

Origin-level protection

Bot detection runs on the server itself, catching threats that bypass CDN filters or serving as the first line of defense.

WordPress-aware

Brute force login protection, WooCommerce-safe rate limiting, and wp-admin specific rules built into every server.

No plugins needed

Protection runs at the server level, not inside WordPress. No performance overhead, no plugin conflicts, nothing to configure.

Always protected

Every plan, every backup

Daily automated backups and the full migration tool are included in every Hostney plan. No add-ons, no extra charges.
