In case you host multiple Internet sites inside the very same account and one of them is hacked, it's very likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There're various reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. This way, just a single compromised Internet site can make a lot of damage to all of your websites, as gaining access to one script usually allows hackers to access the hosting account. This is the reason why we have created a new security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this feature will literally lock a website inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other Internet sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your websites updated, but it'll significantly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
You can take advantage of JailHost with each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks really easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our solutions has a separate folder and in contrast to what often happens with many other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed inside a single main folder, so keeping your Internet sites separate will be much simpler. Allowing JailHost for any website takes just a few clicks, so even when you do not have a lot of experience, you won't need any special skills in order to maintain your sites secure. The option isn't active by default in case that you want to use some script which needs access to another folder in your account. If you use JailHost, the other Internet sites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one won't remain affected for too long since we will have a couple of daily backup copies for it at all times, so we can easily recover it.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not active by default as you may use an app that needs accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost may cause problems, but you can secure all other websites by isolating them from each other. This will be very easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels store the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a main domain, so one single hacked website there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one site could possibly get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly bring it back thanks to the multiple daily backups that we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it afterwards so as to protect it from future intrusions.
