Safeguard Your Published Content on Wordpress

Small and Medium businesses are leveraging free and easily available, intelligent technology to be operationally smarter and powerfully address business challenges. Many small and emerging companies are leveraging the freely available web content management system Wordpress, to host their official blogs and in many cases official websites. Wordpress is a freely available CMS and is fairly powerful till a certain size of the website.

Small companies are setting up such web based CMS's to quickly design and host websites which are highly usable and can be set up almost at a no cost basis. You don't specifically need a designer to design your sites and you would not really require a great coding team to build you a great piece.

To download and host your own version of wordpress, all you need to do is buy a domain name along with web space and upload wordpress on the root directory, using the Cpanel that you get from your web host.

The data challenge
The one thing which remains a challenge still is safeguarding the data from crashing. There have been cases before, when companies have lost their published content due to server shifting/ crashing of the site. Some malicious code working in an unwanted manner etc.



Backup your data on wordpress DB
Now you can use WP-Dbmanager, which is a free plug-in provided by wordpress which essentially helps you in backing up your content which you publish using the WP platform. Since all your content is now saved in the database, it keeps getting backed-up and hence is safe, even in the event of a crash or a server failure at your host end.
