If you host multiple Internet sites within the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. In this way, one single compromised site can make lots of damage to all of your Internet sites, as gaining access to a single script often allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock a website in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it'll significantly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the shared web hosting packages that we provide and you could enable it with just a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the primary domain folder, every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, therefore using JailHost shall make a big difference. You'll be able to select which sites will use this feature and will be locked in accordance with your content because you may have some Internet site where you wish to allow users or admins to access other folders in your web hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add one more level of security to your Internet sites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites is hacked, you could recover it fast and easy using any one of the multiple daily backups of your entire account which we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server packages and you will be able to activate it with several clicks. It is not activated by default because we don't want to prevent some scripts that may need to gain access to multiple folders in your account from functioning properly. You can enable JailHost for all other websites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done very easily even when you don't have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia manages multiple domains - they all have individual folders that could be "locked". In contrast, other popular Control Panels have add-on domains and their content is kept in the primary domain folder, so in case a single website is hacked, the whole account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site gets damaged despite your efforts, we shall be able to recover it the way it was almost instantly because we will store a couple of daily backup copies of the whole account.
