If you host multiple websites in the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it's quite possible that all of them will get hacked afterwards. There are various reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using older scripts with widely known weaknesses. In this way, one single compromised Internet site will do lots of damage to all your websites, because gaining access to one script generally allows hackers to access the entire web hosting account. This is the reason why we have created a new security option named JailHost. Once activated, this option will literally lock a site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your websites updated, but it'll greatly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Website Hosting

JailHost is available as a standard with all the website hosting plans that we provide and you could activate it with only a mouse click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the main domain folder, every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, so using JailHost can make a big difference. You can select which websites will use the option and will be locked in accordance with your content as you could have some site where you wish to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders in your hosting account. Yet, this feature will add one more level of security to your Internet sites in addition to the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you could restore it quick and easy using any of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account which we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you can activate JailHost with several clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this option in all semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default as you might use an application which requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, however you can easily secure all other Internet sites by separating them from one another. This is really easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, many other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a main domain, so only one hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly bring it back using the multiple daily backups that we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that to protect it from potential future attacks.
