SiteSync review

Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

SiteSync is a hosted backup and website security service for agencies, e-commerce businesses, local businesses, and development teams managing business-critical websites. It connects through FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SQL, or Git workflows, then stores encrypted backups in cloud infrastructure. Coverage includes website files, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, and Git repositories, with scheduled backups, selective file restore, and website recovery tools. CMS integrations include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and WooCommerce.

Pricing starts at $6 per month for Basic, which adds encrypted backups, email notifications, priority support, audit logs, a Security Firewall, and malware scan security scores. Standard costs $12 per month and adds Discord webhooks, advanced scheduling, an expanded dashboard, and malware scan history. Pro costs $25 per month and adds 90-day data insurance, custom retention, and firewall event review. Business is $50 per month with a secondary backup location, 24/7 phone support, a dedicated account manager, and advanced uptime monitor controls. Enterprise costs $100 per month and adds unlimited retention, a custom SLA, an on-premise option, and organization-wide security visibility. A 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.

SiteSync’s broad backup scope makes it a practical fit for teams managing mixed CMS, database, and Git environments rather than a single narrow platform. Daily backups, vendor-hosted encrypted storage, one-click restoration, audit logging, malware scanning, uptime monitoring, and retention controls cover both recovery and ongoing site oversight. The main consideration is retention: the base period is seven days, while custom retention begins with Pro and unlimited retention is available on Enterprise. Teams needing longer retention, secondary storage, phone support, or an on-premise option should consider the higher tiers; smaller sites may prefer a simpler service if these controls are unnecessary.
