In case you host multiple Internet sites within the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it's likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There are different reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. In this way, one single compromised website can do lots of damage to all your sites, as gaining access to a single script generally allows hackers to access the whole Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed a brand new security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your sites updated, but it will greatly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
We have included JailHost for all shared web hosting packages, so you could protect your websites with just a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not active by default in order to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you might want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all your other Internet sites is very effortless. Unlike various other Control Panels where many domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, which makes the management and the protection of multiple sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other Internet sites will be shielded and we will have multiple daily backups for the damaged one, so we will be able to restore it to its initial state within minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans, so in case you host several different Internet sites, you will be able to isolate them from each other so as to keep them safe. The option should be activated for each site and is not active by default, in order to avoid interference with scripts that need access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a few clicks within the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place several sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it much simpler to maintain and secure your Internet sites. In case that an Internet site inside your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we can also recover the affected website very quickly since we will have multiple backups of your content.
