Manage your Elementor Host backups

Last Update: August 20, 2025
Note
This only applies to the backup services provided for Elementor Host sites. If you are using a third-party hosting service, contact your service provider for details about backing up your site.

Backups help protect your website from accidental changes and malicious attacks. Elementor Host provides a fast, simple way to back up your site. For details about how to back up your site, see, Back up your Elementor Host website. For details about restoring your site, see Restore a previous version of your website.

Note
Elementor Host websites are automatically backed up, but these automatic backups are deleted after period of time, depending on your hosting plan. Manual backups, as well as the first automatic backup of your site, are never deleted. This way you can always restore your site to its original settings.
