If you host multiple websites inside the very same account and one of them is hacked, it is likely that all of them will be hacked after that. There are various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using older scripts with well-known weaknesses. That way, just a single compromised website will do lots of damage to all of your websites, as gaining access to one script usually allows hackers to access the Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we have created a brand new security option named JailHost. Once activated, this feature will literally lock a site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining Internet 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 will significantly minimize the damage.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

We’ve included JailHost for all shared hosting plans, so you could protect any of your Internet sites with only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not active by default so as to avoid interfering with any Internet sites where you may want visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all your other sites is very effortless. Unlike many other Control Panels where the vast majority of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, which makes the control and the protection of many different Internet sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, your other Internet sites will be shielded and we always have a couple of daily backup copies for the affected one, which means that we will be able to bring it back to its original state within minutes.
