Why Your Host’s “Free Backups” Aren’t Enough for WordPress Recovery
Hostinger, Bluehost, SiteGround and others offer free backups — but recovery is slow, co-located, and untested. Why you need off-site WordPress backup you control.
Founder of MigraSync
Elliyas built MigraSync so bloggers and WordPress site owners can migrate from Blogger, back up to the cloud, and restore with confidence — without hiring a developer for every move.
With a background in computer science and engineering, Elliyas Ahmed founded MigraSync to solve problems he saw repeatedly: fragile Blogger-to-WordPress moves, broken SEO after URL changes, and WordPress sites with no reliable off-site backup.
Over more than a decade working with bloggers and WordPress operators, he focused on migration edge cases, permalink continuity, media imports, and encrypted cloud backup workflows. That experience shaped MigraSync SaaS and the MigraSync Plugin — one API key, clear plans, and tools that run on your own WordPress site.
Today MigraSync helps customers migrate from Blogger, schedule encrypted backups to MigraSync Managed Cloud, restore or clone sites with WP Restore, and generate SEO 301 redirects after migration — with documentation and a knowledgebase built for self-serve success.
Self-serve imports via Google Takeout or Blogger API — posts, pages, media, comments, and SEO 301 redirects.
Scheduled and instant backups to MigraSync Managed Cloud, protected with your Master Vault Key.
Recover the same site or clone to a new host with automatic URL rewriting — built for real disaster recovery.
