In case you host multiple Internet sites within the same account and one of them gets hacked, it is likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with well-known weaknesses. That way, just a single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all your websites, as gaining access to one script often allows hackers to access the entire web hosting account. This is the reason why we've created a top-notch security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock a site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will be hidden. Thus they will be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it will significantly limit the damage.
JailHost in Shared Website Hosting
You can take full advantage of JailHost with each and every shared website hosting plan that we provide and protect your Internet sites against attacks really easy. Every single domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our plans has a different folder and in contrast to what can often happen with some other Control Panels, the website content isn't mixed within just a single main folder, so maintaining your websites separate is rather easy. Activating JailHost for any website takes just a few clicks, so even when you don't have a lot of experience, you won't need any special skills to keep your websites secure. The option is not active by default in case that you'd like to use a script which requires accessibility to a different folder in your account. If you use JailHost, the rest of the websites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one will not remain affected for long as we'll have several daily backup copies for it all the time, so we can promptly restore it.
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 activated by default as we do not want to prevent some scripts which require to access multiple folders in the account from functioning properly. You'll be able to activate JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this very easily even if you have no previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have individual folders which can be "locked". In contrast, other popular Control Panels have add-on domains and the content of the latter is stored in the main domain folder, so if a single website is hacked, the entire account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. If a site gets damaged despite your efforts, we'll be able to restore it the way it was almost instantly because we will store a couple of daily backups of the whole account.
