Backing Up Your cPanel Website

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

Backing up your website hosting account is an important part of your internet strategy. Yes, your hosting provider probably makes backups. But should your account get wiped out or defaced, you will have to contact your hosting provider’s tech support and request a restore. All of which costs you time and money due to the downtime of your website.

By making your own backups, you can restore your website the moment you realize something is amiss. And you want those backups to be automated so that you do not have to remember to do it.

This video gives you a tutorial on how to schedule backups of your hosting account using cPanel’s “Cron Jobs” feature. This will backup all of your hosting account with the exception of your mySQL databases: (more…)

Happy New Year!

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

With each new year comes change, and there is no exception here at Renegade Tech Consulting.

We have a lot of changes and additions taking place in the coming months. As they occur, we will be sure to notify you of what’s new. A quick sneak peek couldn’t hurt, though.

Soon you will be able to purchase, renew, and transfer your domain names through RTC.

SSL certificates, too.

Okay, so enough peeking. Let’s get to the change that is coming in the next few weeks that will effect our hosting clients.

After conferring with our clients and doing an extensive in-house usability study, we have decided to move from a Plesk-based system to a cPanel-based system. Almost everyone has already used cPanel, and it is more friendly to our WordPress customers.

This process will involve no work on your end. What it will require from you, however, is a brief period during which you do not update your sites.

Not to worry, however. You will be notified independently when your site is in migration. As soon as the migration is complete, we will provide your new usernames, passwords, and URLs to access your site control panel(s).

We are very excited about these changes and feel they will enable us to service you better than we have before. Of course, you should feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
