📄 Editorial Review

CodeGuard is a cloud-based website backup, monitoring and disaster-recovery service founded in 2010 in Atlanta. David Moeller was one of its co-founders and served as CEO while the business operated independently. Comodo CA acquired CodeGuard on August 16, 2018, and kept it as a distinct website-security service. Comodo CA later became Sectigo, placing CodeGuard within a wider portfolio of digital certificates, website security and business-protection products.

CodeGuard is not a conventional web hosting company. It does not provide shared hosting, reseller accounts, VPS plans, dedicated servers, domain registration, email hosting or a website builder. Its role is to protect websites hosted by other providers through independent off-site backups, file-change monitoring, malware remediation and recovery tools.

The service covers website-file backup, database backup, website monitoring, malware detection and remediation, WordPress maintenance, website restoration, migration assistance, agency management and hosting-provider integration. It works as a direct backup platform for individual website owners and as a white-label service sold by hosting companies, developers and managed service providers.

The initial backup creates a complete copy of the website. Subsequent jobs are incremental or differential, transferring only the content that has changed. This lowers storage consumption and reduces the processing and bandwidth load placed on the hosting server. Automatic backups can run daily, while on-demand backups and retention periods of 30, 60, 90 days or unlimited history depend on the selected plan.

Website files are normally accessed through FTP or SFTP. Database connections can use direct access or SSH, with support for MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server. CodeGuard is independent of the content-management system and can protect WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Typo3, MODX and custom-built websites, provided that valid file and database credentials are available.

ChangeAlert compares each new backup with the previous version and records added, modified and deleted files. Administrators can inspect these changes from the dashboard and receive filtered email notifications. This makes it easier to detect unauthorized uploads, unexpected source-code changes, accidental file deletion or other suspicious activity before it causes prolonged damage.

Restoration is one of CodeGuard’s strongest capabilities. Customers can restore an entire website, recover selected files or directories, return to a specific historical version or download a full backup as a ZIP archive. These options are useful after unsuccessful updates, malware infections, administrator mistakes, application failures or hosting-server incidents.

MalwareGone combines malware detection with previously stored clean backup versions. It can identify and remove threats such as viruses, trojans, spyware and rootkits, then restore the affected website content. Vulnerability scanning and automatic remediation add another level of protection, although a clean and recent backup remains essential for reliable recovery.

WordPress management includes automatic updates for the core installation, themes and plugins. Failed changes can be rolled back, reducing the risk of an incompatible update leaving a website inaccessible. Website migration, test restores and staging-related functions are also available, with some advanced capabilities reserved for higher subscription levels.

Agencies and developers can manage multiple customers from one account. Available functions include client access, customer reports, employee roles, custom subdomains and white-label branding. Websites can be organized into groups, and routine WordPress maintenance can be performed across multiple installations without logging into each website separately.

Enterprise environments add multi-tenant administration for large website portfolios, including websites spread across different hosting companies and server locations. The API supports customer accounts, websites, databases, users, partner integrations and customized domains through OAuth-based authentication. This allows automated provisioning, single-sign-on workflows and integration with hosting-provider billing or customer-management systems.

The main service and direct checkout are in English, with prices displayed in US dollars. A Spanish checkout version and regional service environments for Germany, France and the United Kingdom are also available. The main website remains usable on desktop and mobile devices, although parts of the account, support and payment systems retain an older interface and occasionally use outdated subscription terminology.
