In case you host multiple sites in the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There're several reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known weaknesses. This way, just a single compromised Internet site can do a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, because getting access to one script often allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they will be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your websites up to date, but it'll greatly limit the damage.
JailHost in Hosting
You can take full advantage of JailHost with each and every hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks really easy. Every single domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our packages has a different folder and in contrast to what can often happen with some other Control Panels, the website content is not mixed up in a single main folder, so keeping your sites separate will be a lot easier. Activating JailHost for any website takes just a couple of clicks, so even if you do not have much experience, you won't need any special skills to maintain your websites risk-free. The option is not active by default in case that you want to use a script that requires accessibility to an additional folder inside your account. If you use JailHost, the other websites that you have will be protected, but even a hacked one won't remain damaged for long as we'll have a couple of daily backups for it all of the time, so we could promptly restore it.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server solutions and you will be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not enabled by default as we don't want to prevent some scripts that require to access multiple folders in the account from functioning properly. You could enable JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this easily even when you have no previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia manages multiple domains - they all have separate folders that could be "locked". In comparison, other well known Control Panels have add-on domains and their content is stored in the main domain folder, so when a single website is hacked, the entire account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site gets damaged despite your efforts, we'll be able to recover it the way it was very quickly as we will have a few daily backup copies of the whole account.
