If you host multiple sites within the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it is more than likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There're several reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with known vulnerabilities. In this way, one single compromised website can make a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, as gaining access to a single script usually allows hackers to access the entire Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced a new security option called JailHost. Once turned on, this feature will literally lock an Internet site within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your sites up-to-date, but it will significantly limit the damage.

JailHost in Cloud Web Hosting

You can take advantage of JailHost with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks really easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our packages has a different folder and in contrast to what can often happen with other Control Panels, the website content isn't mixed up within just a single main folder, so maintaining your Internet sites separate will be a lot easier. Enabling JailHost for any Internet site takes just a few clicks, so even when you do not have a lot of experience, you will not need any special skills to keep your sites risk-free. The option is not active by default in case that you wish to use some script which needs access to an additional folder inside your account. If you use JailHost, the other Internet sites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one won't remain affected for long as we'll have a couple of daily backup copies for it all of the time, so that we could promptly restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel as we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It isn't active by default for the reason that you may use an application that needs accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost may cause problems, yet you could secure all other websites by isolating them from one another. This is simple and 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 one single hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it after that to protect it from future intrusions.
