If you host multiple Internet sites within the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There're different reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with known vulnerabilities. That way, a single compromised Internet site can make a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, as gaining access to one script often allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced a new security option named JailHost. Once activated, this option will literally lock a site within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your websites up-to-date, but it'll significantly minimize the damage.
JailHost in Website Hosting
In case you host your websites inside a website hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all plans and can be enabled for every folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so that files for various Internet sites do not get mixed up like it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default because you may use scripts which need access to folders outside the main site folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but securing all the other folders is very simple. If a protected Internet site gets hacked for some reason, we will be able to recover it without delay because we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups using Hepsia.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can activate JailHost with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel as we've included this feature in all semi-dedicated packages. It isn't active by default simply because you might use an application that requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, however you can easily secure all other Internet sites by isolating them from one another. This will be very easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In comparison, many other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just one hacked Internet site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site can get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly bring it back via the multiple daily backups that we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from potential attacks.
