The Importance of Website and Email Backups - Protect Your Data with Rhino Hosting
Regular backups provide an important recovery option when website or email data is lost or changed. Rhino Hosting completes a full cPanel account backup every day for every cPanel account and retains the latest five backups. Customers should also maintain their own independent backups.
Why Backups Matter
Website and email data can be affected by cyber incidents, server failures, accidental changes or unsuccessful software updates. A current backup can provide a recovery point, although successful restoration cannot be guaranteed.
Key reasons why you need regular backups:
- Cyber incidents: A retained recovery point may assist after malware, ransomware or another damaging event.
- Accidental changes: A suitable restore point may help reverse an unwanted website or account change.
- Server failures: Offsite backup storage provides a separate recovery source if primary systems are affected.
- Maintenance and migration: A recent account backup is useful before significant updates or infrastructure changes.
Daily Full cPanel Account Backups
Rhino Hosting performs a full cPanel account backup every day for every cPanel account. There are no technical or hosting-package exclusions. Here is how the current backup policy works:
- Daily full cPanel backups: A full cPanel account backup is completed daily for every cPanel account.
- Five backups retained: The latest five backups are kept as available restore points.
- Offsite object storage: Backups are stored offsite in the USA using object storage.
- Account-size-dependent runtime: The backup runtime depends on the size of the cPanel account.
Why Choose Rhino Hosting’s Backup Service?
The backup process is managed for every cPanel account and retains five recovery points in offsite object storage. Customers remain responsible for maintaining their own backups as an additional safeguard.

How to Restore Your Data?
To request a restoration, contact Rhino Hosting by email. A restoration can be full or partial and is completed at no fee. Runtime depends on the size of the account. Successful restoration cannot be guaranteed, so customers should also retain their own independent backups. View our Support Options.
