    Hello!

    When i try to purchase a shared hosting account on BlueHost, they shows "SiteLock, Site Backup Pro and Search Engine Jumpstart" options. Are they worth to buy? I mean are there any free alternatives for them? Because of I need to limit my hosting plan annual charges under US$150.

    I think using some of the WordPress plug-ins we can backup our WordPress into Dropbox account. Are there any automatic complete backup (free) solution for WordPress? So how about SiteLock and Search Engine Jumpstart? What are the best free alternative for them?

    Thanks!

    Site Backup Pro you wont need, they should have a weekly backup option which they automatically do for you.
    Search Engine Jumpstart is possibly fake, how much are they selling it for?
    Site Lock, you properly wont need unless your site is for hacking or warez.. but you may need it in-case there's hackers lurking your community..
