Using outdated applications or templates and plugins for them, or using very simple passwords is always dangerous for your sites because these things make it considerably easier hack them. Things can get even worse when you have multiple websites because all of them will be in danger if an attacker takes over only one of them. This is the reason why we've created JailHost - an advanced security feature that isolates sites from each other. If a site is compromised, the attacker will not be able to find or gain access to any other content outside the site folder, so all the other websites hosted within this account will be protected and will be intact. Using the JailHost option does not be a substitute for doing routine script updates or using complex passwords, but it will minimize any damage to your Internet sites significantly, so you will have to fix only one Internet site and not all of them.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all shared hosting solutions, so you'll be able to protect all of your sites with only a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not active by default in order to avoid interfering with any websites where you might want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all other websites is very easy. Unlike alternative Control Panels where many domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the management and the protection of multiple sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be protected and we'll have several daily backup copies for the affected one, so we'll be able to restore it to its initial state in a matter of minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you could activate it with several clicks. It is not enabled by default as we don't want to prevent some scripts which require to gain access to multiple folders in your account from working properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this quickly even if you don't have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have separate folders which could be "locked". In comparison, other widespread Control Panels feature add-on domains and their content is kept in the main domain folder, so in case a single site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. In case an Internet site gets damaged despite your efforts, we'll be able to restore it the way it was in no time because we'll keep a couple of daily backups of your entire account.
