JailHost
Learn what precisely ‘JailHost’ stands for. Uncover the primary advantages of activating this option for your hosted domain names.
If you host multiple sites in the same account and one of them is hacked, it is quite possible that all of them will get hacked after that. There are various reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using outdated scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. This way, just a single compromised website can do a lot of damage to all your websites, since getting access to one script often allows hackers to access the whole web hosting account. This is the reason why we've introduced an outstanding security option known as JailHost. Once enabled, this feature will literally lock an Internet site inside 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 suggest that you should not keep your sites updated, but it'll greatly reduce the damage.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting
In case you host your sites within a
cloud hosting account from our firm, you'll be able to protect them by using the JailHost feature with just a few clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is provided with all packages and can be enabled for every folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so that files for many different Internet sites never get mixed up like it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default because you might use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but shielding all the other folders is really easy. If a protected website gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to restore it promptly as we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our
semi-dedicated hosting plans come with JailHost included by default. This feature is not activated automatically when you add a domain name because you may need to use a specific script which accesses several folders in the account, yet you will be able to activate it easily via your Hepsia Control Panel and protect the rest of your Internet sites with just a couple of clicks. Hepsia is much better to use when you have multiple websites as it keeps them in separate folders and does not keep the files for several sites in the same folder as it often happens with other Control Panels. This enables us to offer JailHost as all of the folders can be separated from one another. In case that any of your sites gets hacked, we'll be able to promptly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backups which we will keep and in the mean time your attacker will not be able to do further damage because the access to your other websites will be stopped.
