It is not recommended anymore. The only free solution that I'm aware of right now is Wayback Machine Downloader. It is a Ruby script, however, and requires more or less setup time depending on the operating system that you are using. Archivarix is an online service that is good for free files from the archive. If the site is small, this may do as well. All other services are either not working anymore, or paid services. The Wayback Machine, part of the Internet Archive, is a very useful service.
It enables you to browse website snapshots recorded by the site's crawler. You may use it to check out past versions of a page on the Internet, or access pages that are permanently or temporarily not available.
It is also a great option to recover web pages as a webmaster that are not accessible anymore maybe because your hosting company terminated the account, or because of data corruption and lack of backups. Several browser extensions, Wayback Fox for Firefox or Wayback Machine for Chrome and Firefox make use of the Wayback Machine's archive to provide users with copies of pages that are not accessible.
While you can download any page on the Wayback Machine website using your web browser's "Save Page" functionality, doing so for an entire website may not be feasible depending on its size.
Not a problem if a site has just a few pages, but if it has thousands of them, you'd spend entire weeks downloading those pages manually.
Enter Website Downloader: the free service lets you download a website's entire archive to the local system. All you have to do is type the URL that you want to download on the Website Downloader site, and select whether you want to download the homepage only, or the entire website. Note : It may take minutes or longer for the site to be processed by Website Downloader. The process itself is straightforward. The service grabs each HTML file of the site or just one if you select to download a single URL , and clones it to the local hard drive of the computer.
Links are converted automatically so that they can be used off-line, and images, PDF documents, CSS and JavaScript files are downloaded and referenced correctly as well. You may download the copy of the site as a zip file to your local system after the background process completes, or use the service to get a quote and get the copy converted to a WordPress site. Website Downloader is an interesting service. It was swarmed with requests at the time of the review, and you may also experience that the generation of website downloads, even of single pages, takes longer than it should because of that.
There is also the chance that some people will abuse the service by downloading entire websites, and publishing them again on the Internet. The idea of the tool is very attractive, anyway. Not finished yet. Drop a URL into Archive. Otherwise, a desktop tool like SiteSucker does the job just as easily. This is also useful when the layout or visual style of a page is important, because oftentimes archive sites can mess things up slightly.
Then click on "Upload": 4. Then upload the ZIP file, as shown in the picture below. This assumes that you have already downloaded the ZIP file from waybackmachinedownloader. Extract the ZIP file: 6. That's it! If you purchased the domain and the hosting from different companies, then you still have to change the name servers at your domain registrar, and change them with the name servers from your hosting company.
If you want to edit the front page, then go to the File Manager and edit the index. You might find it easier to copy part of that file and edit it with an online HTML editor. In the ZIP file there is also a folder called "database". If you want to save some time, you can remove this folder from the ZIP file, because you do not need to upload it. You will need the folder later though.
Create a new database. You can name it anything, but in our example we use the name of our domain. You will need this name later, so pick something easy.
Create a new user and password. The name can be anything, but you'll need it later. Add this user to the database. Give your new user access to all privileges. Tips and Warnings. Related Articles. Article Summary. Enter the URL of the web page you want to browse.
You can also enter keywords to search for a page as well. Select a year in the timeline. If an archived snapshot is available, a vertical black bar will appear in the timeline for each time a snapshot of the page was archived. Scroll down and click on a date highlighted with a blue or green circle. This will either take you directly to the older version of the website or open a pop-out menu with a list of times.
The blue and green circles represent the dates on which the snapshot was archived by the Internet Archive's Web crawler. Click on a time in the pop-out menu.
If a pop-out menu appeared, it will list several times that day the website was archived. Select a time to see what the website looked at during that time on the date you specified. Are there any pages that are not archived when browsing for old versions of websites? You may find this to be the case, as when some website administrators update their websites, their changes automatically trigger the creation of a new web page with a slightly different URL. This will not have been archived and an older version of the same page will not be available.
