An innovative new service for web developers and online business owners has just launched. Simply put, CodeGuard works as a combination cloud storage and malware scan for your website.
After reviewing the full offering, I am convinced that CodeGuard is going to be a must-have service for serious web professionals and I am thrilled to be using it to protect my websites.

Super Backup
CodeGuard connects to your site through FTP and seamlessly goes to work for you backing up and monitoring your files.
Unlike traditional cloud storage services like DropBox, CodeGuard can be setup to backup your website hourly, daily or monthly and stores a unique image of your site each time.
Thwarting Hackers
Over the years I have seen a steady rise in attacks against websites and have even fallen victim to some very devious hacks and exploits myself. I wish CodeGuard would have been around to alert me about those issues.
CodeGuard continually scans your website files for unauthorized code. Pro members can be alerted by email in as little as a few minutes if anything malicious appears.
Mishaps Be Gone
CodeGuard Pro members never worry about breaking their websites. An amazing “rollback” feature works just like an undo tool, letting you effortlessly restore a previous version of an entire site.
The rollback feature could be particularly helpful when dealing with CMS updates that can at times break a customized website.
FREE Beta Offer With Activation Code: DOTSAUCE
CodeGuard is offering up to 5000 free accounts during their beta launch. They have been kind enough to provide DotSauce readers with an invitation.
Simply enter DOTSAUCE as your activation code when signing up for CodeGuard. You can use this activation code to backup one site for free or get CodeGuard Pro features and backup multiple sites for just $10 per month.
If you’re interested, hurry and try out the free Beta offering while it’s still available.
