In case you host multiple Internet sites in the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it is very likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There are several reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using outdated scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. That way, one single compromised site will do lots of damage to all your sites, as gaining access to one script normally allows hackers to access the Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed a new security option known as JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock a website within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining 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 sites up to date, but it'll greatly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the shared web hosting packages that we offer and you can turn it on with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the primary domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, so using JailHost will make a major difference. You will be able to select which websites will use the feature and will be locked in accordance with your content since you may have some site where you want to allow users or administrators to access other folders in your website hosting account. Yet, this option will add an additional level of security to your Internet sites in addition to the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you could restore it really easy using any of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account that we will generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost is provided with all our semi-dedicated server packages, so in case you host several websites, you can separate them from one another and keep them safe. This feature should be activated for each and every site and is not turned on by default, to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders inside the account. Enabling it for all other domains will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place multiple websites under the main domain folder. Instead, every single domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it easier to take care of and protect all your sites. In case that a website within your account is hacked, not only will your other Internet sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to restore the damaged site in no time because we will have multiple backups of your entire content.
