JailHost
What are the basic benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple sites inside the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it's very likely that all of them will get hacked afterwards. There are various reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with widely known weaknesses. This way, one single compromised Internet site will do a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, as getting access to one script normally allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have created an outstanding security option called JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock a website in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other websites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your sites up to date, but it will greatly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Hosting
You can take full advantage of JailHost with each and every
hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks fast and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our plans has a separate folder and in contrast to what often happens with some other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed up within just a single main folder, so keeping your sites separate will be a lot easier. Enabling JailHost for any Internet site takes just a couple of clicks, so even when you do not have a lot of experience, you won't need any special skills in order to maintain your Internet sites protected. The option is not active by default in case that you want to use a script that requires accessibility to another folder in your account. If you use JailHost, the rest of the sites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one won't remain damaged for too long as we'll have several daily backups for it all of the time, so that we could promptly restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is available with all our
semi-dedicated server packages, so in case you host a couple of Internet sites, you will be able to isolate them from each other to keep them safe. The option should be activated for every single Internet site and is not turned on by default, to avoid interference with scripts that need access to multiple folders inside the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of clicks in the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place several websites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it simpler to maintain and shield all your websites. In case that an Internet site in your account is hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we can also restore the damaged Internet site very quickly because we will have multiple backup copies of your entire content.
