In case you host multiple Internet sites inside the same account and one of them gets hacked, it is quite possible that all of them will get hacked after that. There're several reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. In this way, one single compromised site can do lots of damage to all your sites, because getting access to a single script often allows hackers to access the whole web hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed a brand new security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock a website in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it will significantly limit the damage.
JailHost in Website Hosting
JailHost is available by default with all the website hosting packages that we offer and you could turn it on with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content inside the main domain folder, every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, so using JailHost will make a major difference. You can choose which websites will use the feature and will be locked in accordance with your content since you may have some Internet site where you'd like to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your hosting account. Yet, this feature will add one more level of security to your sites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your sites is hacked, you'll be able to restore it really easy using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account which we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all our semi-dedicated server plans, so in case you host several different sites, you will be able to isolate them from each other so as to keep them safe. The option should be activated for each site and is not turned on by default, to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a few clicks within the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place multiple sites under the main domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, which makes it much easier to take care of and protect your sites. In case that a website in your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to restore the affected site in a short time because we will have multiple backups of your whole content.
