If you host multiple sites within the very same account and one of them gets hacked, it is quite possible that all of them will get hacked after that. There are several reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using older scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. In this way, one single compromised website can do a lot of damage to all of your Internet sites, because gaining access to a single script often allows hackers to access the whole web hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced a new security option called JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it will significantly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all cloud hosting packages, so you can protect all of your sites with only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not active by default so as to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you may want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all the other sites is really quick. Unlike other Control Panels where many domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the management and the protection of many different sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, the rest of your websites will be protected and we will have a couple of daily backups for the affected one, which means that we'll be able to recover it to its original state in just a few minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans and you will be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not activated by default because we don't want to prevent some scripts which require to gain access to multiple folders in your account from working properly. You could activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done quickly even if you lack previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have individual folders that could be "locked". In comparison, other well known Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is stored in the primary domain folder, so in case a single Internet site is hacked, the entire account is hacked, which isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site gets damaged despite your efforts, we'll be able to restore it the way it was almost instantly since we'll store several daily backups of your account.
