In case you host multiple websites inside the same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There are several reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with widely known weaknesses. In this way, one single compromised website can make a lot of damage to all your sites, because gaining access to one script often allows hackers to access the whole web hosting account. This is the reason why we have introduced an innovative security option known as JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock a website in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your websites up-to-date, but it will greatly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

If you host your websites within a shared web hosting account from our company, you can protect them using the JailHost option with just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is provided with all packages and can be enabled for every folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for various Internet sites do not get mixed up like it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts that require access to folders outside the main site folder and this option can interfere with their proper operation, but protecting all of the other folders is very easy. If any protected website gets hacked for whatever reason, we'll be able to restore it quickly as we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups in Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

JailHost is available with all of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions, so if you host a couple of sites, you'll be able to isolate them from one another and keep them safe. The option must be activated for each website and is not turned on by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts which need access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than several mouse clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place different websites under the main domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it much simpler to maintain and protect your Internet sites. In case that a website within your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to recover the damaged website in a short time since we will have multiple backups of your content.
