In case you host multiple websites within the very same account and one of them gets hacked, it is likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There are different reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using older scripts with known weaknesses. This way, one single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all of your sites, because gaining access to a single script usually allows hackers to access the entire web hosting account. This is the reason why we've introduced a brand new security option called JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other Internet sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your sites updated, but it'll greatly limit the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
JailHost is available as standard with all the cloud hosting packages that we offer and you could activate it with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the main domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, thus using JailHost will make a major difference. You can select which Internet sites will use the option and will be locked in accordance with your content as you may have some Internet site where you want to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders in your website hosting account. Nonetheless, this feature will add a further level of security to your Internet sites in addition to the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites gets hacked, you'll be able to recover it quick and easy using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server plans and you'll be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not turned on by default because we do not want to prevent some scripts that require to access multiple folders in your account from working properly. You'll be able to enable JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done very easily even when you don't have any previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia takes care of multiple domains - they all have individual folders which can be "locked". In comparison, other popular Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the primary domain folder, so if a single Internet site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. If a site gets damaged regardless of your efforts, we shall be able to restore it the way it was very quickly as we'll keep several daily backup copies of the entire account.
