With Hosted.com’s Website Builder solution, it operates exclusively on its servers, so users cannot store an external copy of a website created using this solution. Our Website Builder’s design and platform are tailored to function exclusively on our servers, thus making it unfeasible to store an external copy of a website created using this solution.
However, Hosted.com maintains full backups of the entire solution on our servers. If you want to retain a copy of your website’s content for your personal use, it’s up to you.
To save all your content and images, please follow these steps:
- Create a dedicated folder for website content on your computer.
- Open a new document and copy the content from each page into this folder.
- Save the page or pages ensuring that you create clear headings so everything is easy to organize and find..
- If you wish to keep your images in the same folder, create a sub-folder named “Images”.
- Either manually copy the images from your PC to this folder or right-click on each image on the website and save it under its respective page name.
If you have a WordPress website, please read our Knowledgebase article on How To Backup Your WordPress Site.
