If you host multiple Internet sites inside the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it's quite possible that all of them will get hacked after that. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. In this way, a single compromised Internet site can do lots of damage to all your sites, because gaining access to a single script usually allows hackers to access the web hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced a new security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this feature will literally lock a site within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other websites in the account will be hidden. Thus they will be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your Internet sites up to date, but it'll significantly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites within a hosting account from our company, you could protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is available with all packages and can be enabled for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so that files for many different Internet sites never get mixed up as it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you might use scripts which need access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option can interfere with their correct functioning, but securing all the other folders is really easy. In case a protected site gets hacked for whatever reason, we will be able to recover it quickly as we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to start JailHost with several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel as we've included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It isn't activated by default simply because you might use an application that requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost could cause problems, but you could protect all other websites by isolating them from each other. This is simple and easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, a lot of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a main domain, so only one hacked Internet site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site could get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly recover it via the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from potential intrusions.
