UpdraftPlus
UpdraftPlus It is one of the most complete plugins that we can find within the backup segment. With it we can not only make backup copies periodically, but also we can make backup copies when we need it (for example in the moment before updating wordpress), restore backup copies to leave our website at a "previous point" in case we have had any problems or we do not like the path we have taken and, in addition, store our copies of security in multiple repositories.
With this plugin we can store the backups we make in Dropbox, Google Drive, on an FTP server or in services such as Amazon S3 or Rackspace Cloud Files. We can also make "selective" backups and select what we want to safeguard (database, the entire website, plugins ...).

SumoMe
If your website is going to have a blog section, Sumome It is a plugin that includes many interesting functionalities, but I stand out when it comes to sharing on social networks. With this plugin you can add buttons for social networks almost anywhere on the blog. It allows you to connect with 18 social networks and customize the shape and colors of the buttons. In addition, it allows you to add counters to know how many times an entry that you have published has been shared and on which social networks they have shared it.
It also has another function that is very interesting, and that is that allows you to add share buttons on top of images. This function is very interesting if you plan to make a blog in which images will have a dominant role, that is, a highly visual blog. In addition, along with the image that is shared, a link to the blog post is also shared
Another function that it includes, and that few plugins have, is that of SumoMe highlighter, which allows the visitor to share the text they select in an entry. That is, if this function is enabled and a visitor selects a phrase or paragraph of the entry with the cursor, a button will appear to share that phrase or paragraph on their social networks along with a link to the blog.
