If you host multiple websites inside the very same account and one of them gets hacked, it's likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There're different reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with widely known weaknesses. That way, just a single compromised site can do lots of damage to all your websites, as getting access to a single script generally allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we've introduced an innovative security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this feature will literally lock a 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 protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your sites up-to-date, but it will greatly limit the damage.
JailHost in Web Hosting
In case you host your sites within a web hosting account from our firm, you will be able to protect them using the JailHost feature with just a few mouse clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is accessible with all plans and can be enabled for every folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so that files for many different websites don't get mixed up like it often happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you might use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option can interfere with their proper operation, but shielding all other folders is very simple. In case a secured Internet site gets hacked for whatever reason, we can recover it very quickly since we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups in Hepsia.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is provided with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, so in case you host several websites, you'll be able to isolate them from each other and keep them safe. This option must be activated for every single website and is not enabled by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts which need access to multiple folders inside the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place multiple sites under the main domain folder. Instead, each domain or subdomain has its own folder, which makes it easier to take care of and shield your websites. In case that a website inside your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we can also restore the damaged website very quickly since we will have multiple backup copies of your content.
