After you've backed up your shared hosting account (more info), you can use those backups to restore your account.

This article assumes you are using a backup you created using Back up your website. You cannot necessarily use these instructions to migrate your website between hosting accounts.

Before restoring your site, note the following:

  • If you installed an application through Installatron and configured it to keep backups, you can use its restore feature to revert your website to a previous state (more info).
  • cPanel only lets you select backups you have manually created.
  • Our cPanel shared hosting accounts do not support the Full Website Backup feature yet.

To Restore Your Shared Hosting Account from a Backup

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. Click Hosting.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Manage.
  4. In the Files section, click Backups.
  5. In the Partial Backups section, in the section for the type of backup you want to use, click Choose File.
  6. Locate the backup on your computer, select and confirm it.
  7. Click Upload.
