In case you host multiple websites within the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it's quite possible that all of them will be hacked after that. There're different reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. This way, just a single compromised website can make lots of damage to all of your Internet sites, since getting access to one script generally allows hackers to access the web hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced a new security option known as JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock a site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your sites up to date, but it will significantly limit the damage.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the shared hosting plans that we offer and you can activate it with just a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content inside the main domain folder, every single domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, thus using JailHost can make a significant difference. You will be able to choose which websites will use this option and will be locked in accordance with your content since you may have some website where you prefer to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders inside your Internet hosting account. Nonetheless, the option will add an additional level of security to your websites along with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your sites is hacked, you will be able to recover it quick and easy using any of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel since we've included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default simply because you may use an app that needs access to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, but you can easily secure all other Internet sites by isolating them from each other. It is very easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels store the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just one hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website could get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backups that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that to protect it from potential future intrusions.
