FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Is SnapShot Web free?

Yes, SnapShot Web is offered for free by SW Hosting as part of its hosting services, you must keep in mind that a SnapShot Web is using the disk space allocated to your website, so you must manage this space properly to avoid filling it. Important: Most of our hosting plans are configurable, so you will be able to increase the available disk space whenever you want.

How many temporary photos can I create?

There is no set limit. You can create as many temporary photos as you need for your website. You simply have to take into account the space available on your hosting plan.

Is it difficult to rollback with SnapShot Web?

No, making a rollback with SnapShot Web is easy and can be done with a few clicks from SWPanel.

How much space do the Web Snapshots of my hosting take up?

A Web Snapshot takes a picture of all the files on your website and your databases and compresses them into a single file, trying to optimise the compression and minimising the space it takes up, but it will always take up space on your website.

Does a Sanpshot include a previously made Snapshot?

No, each SnapShot is independent of the other, there is no relationship between them and they are not contained within each other. A SnapShot is an independent photo and you can restore it in any situation or at any time you want.

Can I schedule automatic snapshot creation?

Yes, you can schedule the automatic creation of temporary snapshots according to your preference.

What should I do if my website goes down and I don't have a temporary snapshot?

In that case, the only option you have is to restore a backup of your website. Our advice is to always have backups of your website and additionally use Web SnapShots. Don't confuse one with the other, and don't think that one can replace the other. They are different tools designed for different situations and they complement each other.
