In case you host multiple sites inside the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it's quite possible that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using older scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. This way, a single compromised site can do lots of damage to all your Internet sites, because gaining access to one script normally allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have created an innovative security option known as JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining websites in the account will be hidden. Thus they will be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your Internet sites up to date, but it will significantly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all shared web hosting plans, so you could protect all of your websites with just a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not enabled by default in order to avoid interfering with any sites where you might want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all your other Internet sites is really quick. Unlike various other Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, making the control and the protection of multiple sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other websites will be shielded and we will have several daily backups for the affected one, so we'll be able to restore it to its initial state in just a few minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you will be able to activate JailHost with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default simply because you might use an app that requires access to other folders within the account and JailHost may cause problems, however you could protect all other sites by isolating them from each other. 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 sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so a single hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one site could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly bring it back via the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards in order to protect it from potential intrusions.
