The WordPress staging plugin from TeamUpdraft

Create a clone or test site on our servers instantly and directly from UpdraftPlus.

Copy and paste your WordPress website

  • No hosting hassle

    Save time organising hosting, installing WordPress, PHP and UpdraftPlus on the sandbox then going through the whole migration process. Set up a temporary test site from UpdraftPlus in just a couple of clicks instead!

  • Easy

    Simply select the versions of WordPress and PHP that you want, and we’ll do the rest.

  • Reliable

    Cloning can throw up issues like the need to change all internal URL references. UpdraftClone does it all for you, automatically.

  • Fast and Secure

    Takes only the time needed to create a backup and send it. Uses one VPS (Virtual Private Server) per clone, shared with nobody.

Want to spin out an empty WordPress install?

You can do that too. Boot up a blank clone to test new themes, plugins, updates. Throw them away once you’re done, all from your UpdraftPlus dashboard.

  • Choose your PHP version.
  • Choose your WordPress version.
  • Choose the region closest to you.
  • Choose your package.
  • Create clone.

You can manage your clone tokens from ‘my account’.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the size of my WordPress site?

To find out the size of your WordPress site:

  1. Go to your WordPress admin area.
  2. In the left-side menu, select Tools and then Site Health.
  3. Within Site Health, click on Info.
  4. Under Info, choose Directories and Sizes.
  5. Look for the WordPress directory size to find the total size of your site.
Can I use UpdraftClone with the free version of UpdraftPlus?

Yes. UpdraftClone works on a token system. You can buy UpdraftClone tokens here.

Where is my data stored?

UpdraftClone stores multiple (i.e. redundant) copies of your backups at data centres in multiple locations. You can choose your preferred region (e.g. for performance reasons or regulatory compliance) when creating your clone.

Is UpdraftClone data encrypted?

Yes. Data is both sent over an encrypted connection to the storage cloud and stored encrypted on the server. Encrypted storage on the server requires your WordPress install to be running PHP 5.3 or later. You can also encrypt your database with a passphrase only known to you (whether for storing in UpdraftClone, or any other remote storage method) using the option in the ‘Settings’ tab of UpdraftPlus.

Do unused Clone tokens expire?

No. Once you have purchased UpdraftClone tokens, they remain on your account until they are used.

The only exception to this is if no activity happens on your account for some years (no logins, no purchases, no use of UpdraftClone, UpdraftVault, UpdraftCentral, etc.), then for data privacy reasons you may eventually be deemed an ex-customer, and your account deleted.
