In case you host multiple Internet sites inside the same account and one of them is hacked, it is likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There are different reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with known weaknesses. That way, one single compromised Internet site can do a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, as gaining access to one script normally allows hackers to access the whole hosting account. This is the reason why we have created an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once activated, this option will literally lock a site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining Internet sites in the account will remain 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 will greatly limit the damage.
JailHost in Website Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the website hosting packages that we offer and you could activate it with only a mouse click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content within the main domain folder, every single domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, so using JailHost shall make a significant difference. You'll be able to pick which Internet sites will use this option and will be locked depending on your content since you may have some Internet site where you want to allow users or admins to access other folders inside your hosting account. Nevertheless, this feature will add an additional level of security to your Internet sites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your sites is hacked, you will be able to recover it really easy using any of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you can activate it with a couple of clicks. It is not turned on by default as we don't want to prevent some scripts that need to access multiple folders in the account from working properly. You'll be able to enable JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done effortlessly even if you don't have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have individual folders that could be "locked". In contrast, other widespread Control Panels have add-on domains and their content is kept in the primary domain folder, so when a single Internet site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that an Internet site gets damaged despite your efforts, we shall be able to restore it the way it was right away since we'll store a couple of daily backup copies of your account.
