1

Off-site by default

Stored in a different data center than your servers. Independent failure domain.

2

End-to-end encryption

Client-side AES-256 encryption with your own key — we cannot read your data.

3

Deduplication

Only changed blocks ship across the wire. Years of history fit in a fraction of raw size.

4

One-click restore

Browse historical snapshots, mount or restore in place from the dashboard.

5

Cross-platform

Linux, Windows, MySQL, Postgres, Mongo and bare-file workloads supported.

Production server backups

Daily full + hourly incremental for your VPS or dedicated server.

Database snapshots

Logical and physical backups of Postgres, MySQL, Mongo with PITR.

Workstation backups

Off-site copies for developer machines and small office endpoints.

Compliance retention

7-year retention with legal hold and audit trails for regulated industries.

Pre-deploy safety net

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can I back up with Hostiger Backup-as-a-Service?

Full VPS/VDS/dedicated server images (block-level), individual files/directories, MySQL and PostgreSQL database dumps, S3-compatible object stores, and any mounted volume. Windows and Linux are both supported.

How often are backups taken?

You choose. Standard tier supports daily snapshots. Pro tier adds hourly incremental backups (last 24 hours) plus daily full snapshots. Enterprise tier adds continuous replication with sub-15-minute RPO.

Where are backups stored?

Backups are stored in a different geographic region than your production workload to protect against regional failure. You can also pin backups to a specific compliance region (e.g., EU-only or Turkey-only).

How long is retention?

Standard tier: 7-day retention. Pro tier: 30-day retention with weekly + monthly archive points. Enterprise tier: unlimited retention with custom lifecycle policies (e.g., "keep monthly for 7 years for SOX compliance").

Are backups encrypted?

Yes. Backups are encrypted with AES-256 in flight (TLS 1.3) and at rest. Customer-managed encryption keys are available on Pro and Enterprise tiers — Hostiger cannot decrypt your backups without your key.

How fast is restore?

Full-VPS restores complete in typically under 3 minutes for images under 200 GB. Individual file restores are near-instant via the browser or CLI. Cross-region restores add ~30 seconds of transfer time depending on image size.

Can I browse a backup before restoring?

Yes. Every backup mounts as a read-only browsable filesystem in the Hostiger console — you can search, preview and cherry-pick individual files without restoring the entire image.

What's the pricing?

Backup-as-a-Service is priced at $0.02/GB/month for compressed, deduplicated backups. Typical VPS images deduplicate 3-5x — a 100 GB VPS averages ~$0.50/mo. Enterprise volume discounts kick in at 10 TB.
