While the NC Conference does regular server backups, you should frequently export your content and store it on your computer. Exports are easily made through the Tools - Export menu option of the Dashboard.

When using Branch 2, your domain will be available to you for 3 years. When your 3 years are coming to an end, you will be notified 90, 60 and 30 days prior to your service end date. If we do not receive your renewal within this time, your site will be removed from our system and you may lose your web address.
