# SSL, uptime and version history

> What renews itself, what we watch every night, what we deliberately do not promise, and how you get an earlier version of a page back.

Hosting, domains and SSL · noboringsites documentation · https://noboringsites.com/docs/hosting/ssl-uptime-and-version-history/

---

Three separate questions get asked together, so they are answered together here. One of the three has an answer you may not expect.

## SSL

The certificate is ours to keep alive.

- **It renews itself.** There is no date for you to diarise.
- **It covers your domain** once the DNS change is in.
- **There is nothing to buy.** SSL is inside the plan, not an add-on.

## Uptime

We check, and we show you the result.

- **Your site is checked every night** and the portal shows a plain up or down.
- **We do not print an uptime percentage.** We have not published one and we will not until we can evidence it.
- **If a site we host is down**, email team@noboringsites.com. A person answers and it is ours to fix.

## Version history

This is how you get something back.

- **Every change is staged before it is live** and every change is revertible.
- **Reverting is a change like any other**, so it stages before it goes live too.
- **The step by step is on [preview, stage and revert](/docs/ai-site-builder/preview-stage-and-revert-a-change/).**

## What we do not offer

Said plainly, because the absence matters more than a soft answer.

- **There is no customer-facing site backup product.** Version history is how you go back, not a snapshot archive you restore from.
- **Your own copy is the export.** Ask for one whenever you like; it is free and it is described on [move your site somewhere else](/docs/hosting/move-your-site-somewhere-else/).
- **On a self-hosted template**, backups are your host's business and yours.

## What we do run for ourselves

Disclosed because it is your data sitting in it.

- **Our own databases are backed up nightly** into Cloudflare storage.
- **The full detail is in the [privacy policy](/legal/privacy/)**, which is the document that governs it.
