JailHost

Learn how you'll be able to use the "JailHost" option within your control panel and how it can protect your websites.

In case you host multiple sites inside the same account and one of them is hacked, it is 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 There are different reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with well-known vulnerabilities. This way, one single compromised site will do lots of damage to all of your websites, since getting access to one script usually allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed an outstanding security option named JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock a website within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, all the other sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they will be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your websites up to date, but it'll greatly limit the damage.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared hosting plans that we offer and you could activate it with just a single mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the primary domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, so using JailHost can make a significant difference. You'll be able to choose which sites will use this option and will be locked based on your content since you could have some Internet site where you want to allow users or admins to access other folders inside your Internet hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add an extra level of security to your Internet sites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you could recover it easy and fast using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost is provided with all of our semi-dedicated server plans, so if you host several websites, you'll be able to separate them from each other in order to keep them safe. This feature must be activated for each and every Internet site and is not active by default, in order to avoid interference with scripts which need access to multiple folders inside the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks inside the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place several Internet sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it much easier to take care of and protect all of your Internet sites. In case that a website within your account gets hacked, not only will your other Internet sites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to recover the damaged Internet site in no time as we will have multiple backups of your whole content.
