UpdraftPlus now available on GoDaddy hosting
UpdraftPlus blocklist update for GoDaddy managed WordPress hosting
Section titled UpdraftPlus blocklist update for GoDaddy managed WordPress hostingCustomers of GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress hosting may have noticed that UpdraftPlus has been blocklisted for the past few months.
Reason for the blocklist
Section titled Reason for the blocklistUpdraftPlus was blocklisted because the specifics of the GoDaddy configuration meant backups were consuming large amounts of server resources. More specifically, servers were configured to use a cron interval which was timing out before temporary backup files could be cleaned up.
Performance improvements and resolution
Section titled Performance improvements and resolutionWe’ve been working hard to implement performance improvements to satisfy GoDaddy’s requirements. We’re happy to announce that as of versions 1.22.23 (free) and 2.22.23 (Premium), GoDaddy has lifted the restrictions on UpdraftPlus.
Reactivating UpdraftPlus
Section titled Reactivating UpdraftPlusIf you previously had UpdraftPlus Free or UpdraftPlus Premium installed on your GoDaddy-hosted site, you can now reactivate the plugin (after updating to the latest version).
