If you host multiple Internet sites within the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There are several reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with known vulnerabilities. This way, a single compromised Internet site can make a lot of damage to all of your websites, because gaining access to a single script usually allows hackers to access the whole Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced an outstanding security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this feature will literally lock a website within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other Internet sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it'll significantly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Shared Website Hosting

We’ve included JailHost for all shared website hosting solutions, so you can protect any of your Internet sites with just a couple of clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not enabled by default to avoid interfering with any websites where you may want visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all your other sites is very simple. Unlike some other Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, making the management and the protection of multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, your other sites will be shielded and we'll have multiple daily backups for the affected one, so that we will be able to bring it back to its initial state within minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default as you may use an app which requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, however you'll be able to protect all other websites by isolating them from one another. It is a piece of cake as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels save the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just a single hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one site could possibly get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly recover it using the multiple daily backups which we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from potential future intrusions.
