Once you've finished loading your site files, please make sure everything is functioning correctly:

• Check your site through every browser you have available. Click on all your pages and look for missing images and links that go to wrong pages.
• Go back to your cPanel and click on the "Error Logs" icon under the Advanced Tab. Here you may find errors that you missed in your visual inspection.
• Fix any errors by editing files through File Manager.

The next important step is to download a backup of your site. We strongly recommend backing up at least your home directory via the partial backup method.

• in cPanel, click Backups
• Click on the backup type(s) you'd like to make
• Select a destination on your PC for where you would like to save it to
• Click Save
• It will then start to download

We perform weekly backups of all sites hosted on our servers, though the process to restore lost material in this way can take up to 24 hours and the fee is $20. Backups are also not guaranteed. Never depend on ANA or any other web host to backup your work for you. It's your responsibilty as a website owner to make periodic backups of your website.

Alternative backup method:

• In your hosting account cPanel, under the Files menu, click on File Manager
• Check the box next to any folder you want to backup
• Click on the "Compress" icon from the top menu
• Select "zip archive" and do not change the destination directory (this sends the backup to the directory you're currently in)
• Click on "make archive"
• Once your file is compressed, a message will come up showing it as completed, then you can close that box
• Now locate your compressed file in your directory, then double click on it to save the file to your computer
• Once you've downloaded the compressed file, delete in in your file manager by checking the box next to it, then click on the "delete" icon near the top of the page. Leaving backups on the server is a security risk for your site so please do not omit this step.

In this way, you can individually save any folder to your own hard drive so you can restore it yourself if necessary.
