What could go wrong BACKUP wise?
Backup wise, this gets extremely annoying and has a huge impact. When you need a backup you need it immediately, you need the latest - not the one from last year, the backup must be complete and able to restore your WordPress. Disconsider any solution or provider, that forces you to raise tickets and wait after customer support to answer your emergency. Disregard any solution, that does not have a recurrent functionality with an on-demand option.
The old solution - paying extra for the hosting or development company - is now considered inadequate and risky. So, how do you backup your website?
The answer is doing your own backups. You need them most and almost everything depends on those backups. Also make sure, that your plan works on a theoretical (you know what to do, you have the credentials) and technical level (you have the tools and connection speed to download the backup and upload it back to your hosting). Test your backup and make sure it can fully restore your website if ever needed. Backup your website BEFORE and AFTER an update or major change or 3rd party access. Be as paranoid with this segment as you can, save as often as possible. After all, it is ALL THAT YOU HAVE online!
How to ensure your WordPress website’s success?
If you are a business owner, feeling proud and holding on to the success of your WordPress website after it's launched can be a challenge. You invested a ton on money, time and effort creating a beautiful online image for your customers. You hired experts to code your new website, marketing specialist to write your new attractive content, SEO experts to polish the focus to the maximum. They all did a good job - they created a product. That product is your website, attracting customers, creating the opportunity for non-stop open business to sell your REAL money magnet.
This is the point where most business owners don't understand the main reason for being online. You put all this effort to be online, so you want to be there as much as possible. Preferably honing and refining your business as days and months and years go by. All the hired experts focus on the product they were hired to deliver: WordPress theme, catchy titles, and content, attention grabbing CTA’s and keyword density. They are not interested preserving what is already done, because, that is not their business focus. It's yours as a business owner!
