JailHost
What are the actual pros of having the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
If you host multiple Internet sites in the very same account and one of them gets hacked, it's more than likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There are various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with known weaknesses. That way, just a single compromised website will do a lot of damage to all of your Internet sites, as gaining access to one script generally allows hackers to access the Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we've developed a top-notch security option known as JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock a website in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your websites up to date, but it'll greatly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Hosting
If you host your Internet sites within a
hosting account from our company, you can protect them using the JailHost option with just a few clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is accessible with all plans and can be enabled for each folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so files for many different Internet sites don't get mixed up as it quite often 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 website folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but shielding all of the other folders is very simple. In case any protected site gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to restore it easily as we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups from Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated hosting plans come with JailHost provided by default. This feature is not activated automatically when you add a domain as you may need to use a script which accesses multiple folders in the account, yet you can activate it without any difficulty via your Hepsia Control Panel and protect your other websites with just a couple of clicks. Hepsia is much better to use if you have multiple Internet sites as it keeps them in separate folders and does not keep the files for several websites in the same folder like it often happens with alternative Control Panels. This allows us to offer JailHost as all folders can be separated from one another. If any of your sites gets hacked, we'll promptly restore it thanks to the several daily backups that we'll keep and in the mean time your attacker won't be able to do further damage because the access to your other Internet sites will be blocked.
