If you host multiple sites within the same account and one of them is hacked, it's more than likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There are various reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using older scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. In this way, a single compromised website can do a lot of damage to all of your websites, since gaining access to one script often allows hackers to access the whole web hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed a brand new security option named JailHost. Once activated, this option will literally lock a site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining Internet sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your websites up-to-date, but it'll significantly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Shared Website Hosting
You can take full advantage of JailHost with each and every shared website hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks really easy. Every single domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our packages has a different folder and contrary to what can often happen with some other Control Panels, the content is not mixed within just a single main folder, so maintaining your sites separate is rather easy. Allowing JailHost for any Internet site takes only a couple of clicks, so even when you don't have a lot of experience, you won't need any special skills to keep your websites secure. The option isn't active by default in case that you want to use a script which needs access to a different folder inside your account. If you use JailHost, the remaining websites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one will not remain affected for long as we'll have several daily backups for it all the time, so we could quickly recover it.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is available with all of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, so if you host several sites, you'll be able to isolate them from one another in order to keep them safe. The option must be activated for every single Internet site and is not turned on by default, to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders inside the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than several mouse clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place multiple Internet sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it much easier to take care of and shield all your Internet sites. In case that a site within your account is hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to restore the affected site very quickly since we will have multiple backup copies of your whole content.
