In case you host multiple websites within the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it's more than likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with well-known weaknesses. That way, one single compromised site will do a lot of damage to all your sites, as gaining access to a single script generally allows hackers to access the whole Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we've developed an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this feature will literally lock an Internet site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your sites up to date, but it'll greatly minimize the damage.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared hosting plans that we provide and you can activate it with just a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the primary domain folder, every single domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, which means that using JailHost shall make a major difference. You can pick which Internet sites will use this feature and will be locked based on your content as you could have some website where you prefer to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders inside your Internet hosting account. Yet, the option will add an extra level of security to your sites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you'll be able to restore it really easy using any of the several daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all of our semi-dedicated server solutions, so in case you host several different Internet sites, you'll be able to isolate them from each other so as to keep them safe. This option should be activated for each Internet site and is not turned on by default, to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place multiple sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it much easier to manage and shield your Internet sites. In case that a site in your account is hacked, not only will your other Internet sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to recover the damaged Internet site before you know it as we will have multiple backup copies of your whole content.
