JailHost
What are the benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple websites in the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There're several reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. That way, just a single compromised website will do a lot of damage to all your sites, as getting access to one script usually allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we've introduced a new security option known as JailHost. Once enabled, 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 will be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your Internet sites up-to-date, but it'll greatly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the
hosting plans that we provide and you can turn it on with just a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content inside the main domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, thus using JailHost shall make a big difference. You will be able to choose which sites will use this option and will be locked depending on your content because you could have some site where you'd like to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add an extra level of security to your Internet sites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites is hacked, you'll be able to recover it fast and easy using any of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is provided with all our
semi-dedicated hosting solutions, so in case you host multiple Internet sites, you can easily separate them from each other to keep them safe. The option must be activated for every single website and is not active by default, to avoid interference with scripts that need access to multiple folders inside the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of clicks within the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different Internet sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it easier to maintain and shield all your Internet sites. In case that a website in your account gets hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we can also recover the damaged Internet site very quickly since we will have multiple backups of your content.
