Dual layer backups

You pour hours into creating content for your website—carefully crafting an online home for your business. So why risk losing it all with poor or non-existent backups?

All our hosting plans include automated daily backups. But at Thorn Creative, our WordPress maintenance plans go one step further. We add a second layer of protection with incremental, offsite cloud backups.

Why the extra layer?
Because while automated systems are reliable, they’re not foolproof. If your only backup lives in the same data centre as your live website, a single issue could take everything down. And yes—although rare, entire data centres have gone up in flames.

That’s why we back up your website files and database using encrypted connections to Amazon Web Services (AWS)—one of the most secure and trusted platforms on the web.

These backups are:

• Encrypted and secure

• Stored offsite on AWS S3 for 90 days

• Monitored daily—if something goes wrong, we’re alerted and act quickly

• Optimised for performance—they run efficiently without slowing down your website

This dual-backup approach doesn’t just protect your site—it gives you peace of mind. And it comes standard with all our WordPress maintenance plans.
