JailHost
What are the main benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple websites in the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's 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 widely known vulnerabilities. That way, one single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all your sites, because gaining access to one script generally allows hackers to access the whole web hosting account. This is the reason why we've created an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this feature will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your websites updated, but it will greatly limit the damage.

JailHost in Web Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all
web hosting solutions, so you'll be able to protect each of your Internet sites with just a couple of clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature isn't enabled by default in order to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you might want visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all other Internet sites is very easy. Unlike some other Control Panels where the majority of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the control and the protection of multiple sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, your other sites will be shielded and we'll have a couple of daily backups for the damaged one, so we can recover it to its initial state in a couple of minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost comes with all of our
semi-dedicated server packages and you could activate it with a few clicks. It is not activated by default because we don't want to prevent some scripts that may need to access multiple folders in your account from functioning properly. You will be able to enable JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done easily even when you do not have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia maintains multiple domains - they all have individual folders that can be "locked". In contrast, other widespread Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the primary domain folder, so in case a single website is hacked, the entire account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site gets damaged regardless of your efforts, we'll be able to restore it the way it was without delay since we will store a few daily backup copies of the whole account.
