In case you host multiple sites within the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's very likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There are different reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with widely known weaknesses. In this way, a single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all your websites, because gaining access to a single script often allows hackers to access the Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we've introduced an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock a website inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other Internet sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they will be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it will greatly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Shared Website Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the shared website hosting packages that we offer and you can activate it with only a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the primary domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, therefore using JailHost will make a big difference. You'll be able to select which Internet sites will use the option and will be locked in accordance with your content because you may have some Internet site where you prefer to allow users or admins to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Yet, the option will add an extra level of security to your websites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you will be able to recover it fast and easy using any of the several daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we've included this option in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not active by default for the reason that you might use an app that needs accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, but you can secure all other sites by separating them from each other. This is very easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, numerous other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one single hacked site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one site could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly restore it using the multiple daily backups which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from future attacks.
