In case you host multiple websites in the same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There're various reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using outdated scripts with known vulnerabilities. That way, just a single compromised website can make a lot of damage to all of your Internet sites, as getting access to a single script often allows hackers to access the entire Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we've developed a new security option known as JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock a site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other websites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your Internet sites updated, but it will significantly limit the damage.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all shared hosting plans, so you could protect any of your sites with only a few clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option isn't enabled by default in order to avoid interfering with any sites where you may need visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all your other sites is really effortless. Unlike various other Control Panels where many domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, which makes the control and the protection of many different sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, the rest of your Internet sites will be safe and we always have several daily backup copies for the infected one, which means that we can bring it back to its original state within a few minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is available with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, so in case you host a couple of sites, you'll be able to separate them from one another and keep them safe. This option must be activated for each and every website and is not turned on by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts that need access to multiple folders inside the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than a few clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different Internet sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it simpler to manage and secure all your sites. In case that a site inside your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to restore the affected Internet site before you know it as we will have multiple backup copies of your entire content.
