If you host multiple Internet sites within the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it is quite possible that all of them will get hacked after that. There're various reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using older scripts with known weaknesses. In this way, a single compromised site can do lots of damage to all of your Internet sites, because gaining access to a single script generally allows hackers to access the entire Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have created a new security option known as JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining Internet sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it will significantly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
If you host your Internet sites in a cloud hosting account from our firm, you will be able to protect them using the JailHost option with just a few mouse clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is accessible with all packages and can be activated for any folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for various Internet sites never get mixed up as it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts which need access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option could interfere with their proper operation, but securing all other folders is really easy. In case any protected site gets hacked for whatever reason, we will be able to restore it easily because we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups in Hepsia.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is available with all our semi-dedicated server solutions, so if you host several different Internet sites, you'll be able to separate them from one another to keep them safe. This option has to be activated for each and every website and is not active by default, to avoid interference with scripts that need access to multiple folders inside the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place different sites under the main domain folder. Instead, every single domain or subdomain has its very own folder, which makes it simpler to maintain and secure all of your Internet sites. In case that a website inside your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to recover the affected website in a short time since we will have multiple backups of your whole content.
