If a hacker somehow gets in and places a subtle link on some old post that you would never notice in a million years, VaultPress will. “In the future, if your site is tampered with in any way, we’ll know within minutes and can take appropriate steps.”Īgain, VaultPress will be WATCHING your site.
He draws attention to this part of the announcement: Google’s super-smart Matt Cutts has an excellent buzz about Why VaultPress is Important. I suspect they decided to skew towards that because it is a selling point that anyone can understand but the two groundbreaking features – features that put it well beyond any existing backup plugins – are that VaultPress PATCHES and MONITORS your site. There seems to be a lot of confusion about VaultPress and I think this is down to the flaky name which emphasises the backup aspect of the service. VaultPress will need to be pretty darn cheap or offer as many features as Backup Buddy in order to be considered an awesome commercial alternative. This price also covers upgrades to the plugin and one year of support. Their price is only $25.00 and that covers two websites. Right now, their backup solution offers more bang for the buck although without the convenience of having the data in the cloud. However, I hope that the team at does not get discouraged because of the launch of VaultPress. $60.00 per year is not much to ask for when you consider everything that is going on behind the scenes of VaultPress to make sure it doesn’t disappear like other companies that couldn’t find a way to stay in business.
I put in $5.00 per site because it seems reasonable to me. In fact, if you browse to their beta application page, you’ll notice that one of the fields specifically asks how much you would be willing to pay per month to cover all of your WordPress powered sites. It’s interesting to note that there is no price listed anywhere on the site. I doubt that will happen but I think the benefit here is that by using VaultPress, you’ll be one of the first to get the fixes so you don’t have to worry about any upgrades. Well, this gets him part of the way there and there is cash involved to boot! What I don’t want to happen is some sort of major delay between the 0 day fixes being available for all WordPress users versus those who have paid for that type of comfort. I know Matt would love to have a way to push a button and have a bunch of sites upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. The VaultPress engine will be able to push hotfixes to zero-day security vulnerabilities, for example. The one feature that intrigues me is that VaultPress will be able to monitor your site: Right now, VaultPress only backs up and restores to the same site. Also, Backup Buddy has the ability to make migrating a site from one host to another as easy as pie.

VaultPress is in the middle of stiff competition when you consider that most webhosts enable backups through cPanel, or free WordPress plugins that back up the database of the website or, commercial plugins such as Backup Buddy which I’ll continue to use in favor of VaultPress because I feel that VaultPress doesn’t take away what a good product BackupBuddy is. In fact, I reviewed one of them called Backupify. I mentioned a few weeks ago on Twitter that I noticed a bunch of backup plugins and services specifically tailored to WordPress showing up in my FeedReader. I didn’t see VaultPress coming but it doesn’t surprise me that something like it was launched. Also further in the comments on the initial launch post, Matt said that VaultPress is technically on a different infrastructure than. VaultPress will be available for WP.org installs (and was in fact primarily developed for WP.org users). When asked whether VaultPress was designed for self hosted WordPress sites or users, Toni Schneider responded with:
