If you host multiple websites within the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's very likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There're different reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using older scripts with well-known weaknesses. That way, a single compromised website can make lots of damage to all your websites, as gaining access to one script generally allows hackers to access the Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed a new security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will 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 minimize the damage.

JailHost in Web Hosting

In case you host your sites inside a web hosting account from our company, you can protect them using the JailHost option with just a few clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is provided with all plans and can be enabled for each folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for many different sites don't get mixed up like it quite often happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts which need access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option could interfere with their proper operation, but shielding all of the other folders is simple and easy. If a secured Internet site gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to restore it without delay as we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you can start JailHost with several clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default simply because you may use an app which requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost might cause problems, yet you'll be able to secure all other websites by separating them from one another. This is very easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just a single hacked Internet site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site could get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backups which we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from potential future intrusions.
