In case you host multiple websites inside the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's quite possible that all of them will be hacked after that. There're several reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. That way, a single compromised Internet site will do a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, because gaining access to one script usually allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we've introduced a brand new security option known as JailHost. Once enabled, this feature will literally lock an Internet site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your sites up to date, but it'll greatly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Shared Website Hosting

We’ve included JailHost for all shared website hosting plans, so you can protect each of your sites with just a few clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not active by default so as to prevent interfering with any websites where you might want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all the other sites is very simple. Unlike various other Control Panels where the vast majority of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, making the management and the protection of multiple Internet sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, your other sites will be shielded and we will have a couple of daily backup copies for the infected one, therefore we can bring it back to its original state within a few minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default simply because you may use an application that needs access to other folders inside the account and JailHost could cause problems, but you will be able to protect all other sites by separating them from one another. This will be really easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In comparison, a lot of other Control Panels store the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a main domain, so just one hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly restore it using the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from future attacks.
