Eleven2 backup question

Yesterday, 07:42 AM Hello,

Does Eleven2 really make backups of their shared webhosting plans? Even with the 250GB Storage Space and 500GB Storage Space plans? I wanted to know for sure before signing up for an account because I know that HostGator for example won't make them for you if you reach the 50GB. Do they also have inodes rules?

Thanks in advance.

Yesterday, 08:01 AM I can't see any restriction in their terms and conditions on that. But they do give the usual reminder that maintaining backups is your responsibility whatever they say they will do. So the host's backups should only ever be to supplement your own, and to allow them to restore in case of complete hardware failure.

I usually give a rule of thumb to expect to pay at least $1 per month for every GB of space you need. If they are offering $7.50 per month for 250GB of storage and 20TB of bandwidth,... let's say that's very generous. Certainly, if you were to use over 7.5GB of space, I would advise you to be sure you have your own backups.

I highly doubt it, the cost of backing up a 250Gb account that they are only charging $7 per month for, would not be worth it. They are obviously overselling, so its always important to keep that in mind when signing up with these types of web hosts.

Now that doesn't mean you should stay away from them, just means you should know you are probably not going to get what is being advertised (your account will hit CPU/Memory limits well before you get anywhere near 250GB of disk-space).

Do your DD and understand what your site actually requires, because if you really need 250GB of diskspace, you need a dedicated server, not a shared web hosting account.

Yesterday, 01:05 PM i am not really sure you can actually talk about overselling in the backups business. i am pretty confident that if you sign up for a 250 gb backup plan you would be able to use the 250 gb, since backups are not really an intensive task like hosting some high traffic websites on a server and you're overselling bandwidth, and i don't see any reputable provider risking their reputation not providing customers with the service they actually bought.

i would highly suggest that when making statements be sure those statements are true. "obviously overselling" is not something accurate, and even if they are overselling, that's not anyone's problem, as long as the customers can use the disk space they bought.

i hope i haven't offended anyone, i just developed a custom that when i speak about something, i make sure i got my facts right, without a doubt, and i don't assume anything. it's just not cool to assume things about others that might be very well wrong.

We backup each account. We keep 10 daily snapshots through R1Soft. We do not have any Inode rules.

You can access R1Soft anytime in our cPanel.
