JailHost
What are the pros of having the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple websites in the very same account and one of them gets hacked, it is more than likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There're several reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with widely known weaknesses. This way, a single compromised Internet site can make a lot of damage to all of your Internet sites, since getting access to one script often allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed a top-notch security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this feature will literally lock a site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining Internet sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your websites up to date, but it will significantly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
If you host your Internet sites within a
cloud website hosting account from our company, you could protect them using the JailHost feature with just a couple of clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all plans and can be enabled for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for many different Internet sites never get mixed up as it usually happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts that need access to folders outside the main site folder and this option can interfere with their proper operation, but securing all of the other folders is simple and easy. If any protected site gets hacked for whatever reason, we'll be able to recover it without delay because we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a
semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to start JailHost with a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not activated by default as you might use an application that requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, however you'll be able to secure all other sites by separating them from one another. This will be very easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a main domain, so only one hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly recover it using the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from potential intrusions.
