Connect Site

First, connect your site by giving CodeGuard your ftp/sftp/MySQL information. It's that easy.

The first step in activating CodeGuard is to connect your website or database with our servers. There are several options available, and the right one depends on your level of sophistication, goals, and server configuration. At a high level, you really have two choices: (1) FTP/SFTP or (2) MySQL.

If you want to configure FTP/SFTP and MySQL backups, you have two options: use our cPanel or Plesk plugins, which will create an FTP user and password for you automatically, or enter the credentials yourself, manually.
