We’re starting 2026 with a milestone that reflects both momentum and trust across the WordPress ecosystem. JetBackup for WordPress has officially surpassed 100,000 active installs. This achievement goes beyond the numbers. It confirms a clear demand for enterprise-grade WordPress backup solutions that are simple to deploy, reliable at scale, and built for real-world hosting environments.

JetBackup for WordPress v3, Built for Adoption

The release of JetBackup for WordPress v3 marked a major turning point. This was not a cosmetic update. It introduced a modern backup architecture designed specifically for performance, scalability, and long-term growth within WordPress.

Version 3 delivered faster backups, deeper restore controls, and a framework that evolves alongside WordPress core. But the real signal of success came after launch, widespread adoption across hosting providers and WordPress sites.

That adoption accelerated with instant deployment through JetBackup v5. Hosting providers can now install JetBackup for WordPress with every new WordPress install.

This distribution model fundamentally changed how backups are delivered. Backups are no longer optional or delayed; they are built into the WordPress experience from day one.

Free Cloud Storage Included With Every WordPress Install

As usage grew, so did expectations. That’s why every JetBackup for WordPress install now includes free Cloud Storage. WordPress users can store backups offsite in secure, JetBackup-managed cloud infrastructure immediately. There is no need to make infrastructure decisions before protection begins.

Offsite backups are critical for recovery and resilience. By bundling cloud storage directly into JetBackup for WordPress, we’re removing barriers and setting a higher standard for what WordPress backup protection should deliver out of the box.

Built for Scale, Performance, and What’s Next

Reaching 100,000 active installs is a milestone, but it’s also the foundation for what comes next.

Q1 2026 is shaping up to be a major release period for JetBackup for WordPress. Upcoming enhancements are driven directly by feedback from hosting providers, agencies, developers, and site owners operating at scale. These updates focus on deeper automation, smarter restore workflows, tighter performance integration, and expanded cloud backup capabilities.

The goal remains consistent: to make JetBackup for WordPress the most trusted, scalable, and capable backup solution in the WordPress ecosystem.
