JailHost
What are the basic benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple Internet sites in the exact same account and one of them gets hacked, it's more than likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There're various reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using older scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. That way, just a single compromised website can make a lot of damage to all your Internet sites, as getting access to a single script often allows hackers to access the Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced a top-notch security option called JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock a website within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your sites up-to-date, but it will significantly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting
In case you host your websites in a
cloud hosting account from our company, you will be able to protect them by using the JailHost feature with just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is provided with all plans and can be enabled for every folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so files for different websites do not get mixed up as it usually happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default because you may use scripts which need access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option may interfere with their proper operation, but securing all other folders is really easy. In case a protected website gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to recover it promptly as we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost comes with all our
semi-dedicated hosting solutions and you will be able to 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'll be able to enable JailHost for all other websites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this quickly even when you don't have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have separate folders which can be "locked". In contrast, other popular Control Panels have add-on domains and the content of the latter is stored in the main domain folder, so in case a single Internet site is hacked, the entire account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. In case a site gets damaged regardless of your efforts, we shall be able to recover it the way it was without delay since we will have a couple of daily backups of your entire account.
