JailHost
What are the actual pros of having the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple Internet sites inside the very same account and one of them is hacked, it's quite possible that all of them will be hacked afterwards. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using older scripts with widely known vulnerabilities. That way, one single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all of your websites, as gaining access to a single script usually allows hackers to access the web hosting account. This is the reason why we've developed a brand new security option known as JailHost. Once activated, this option will literally lock a website in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the remaining sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll 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 reduce the damage.

JailHost in Website Hosting
You can take advantage of JailHost with each and every
website hosting plan that we provide and protect your websites against attacks quick and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our plans has a separate folder and in contrast to what often happens with some other Control Panels, the website content is not mixed up within just a single main folder, so maintaining your sites separate will be far easier. Activating JailHost for any site takes just a few clicks, so even if you do not have much experience, you will not need any special skills in order to maintain your websites risk-free. The option is not active by default in case that you wish to use some script that requires accessibility to a different folder in your account. If you use JailHost, the rest of the websites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one will not remain affected for too long because we'll have several daily backup copies for it all the time, so that we could quickly restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all our
semi-dedicated server solutions, so in case you host a couple of Internet sites, you will be able to separate them from each other so as to keep them safe. The option must be activated for every single site and is not active by default, to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other domains will take no more than several clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it simpler to take care of and shield your Internet sites. In case that a website within your account is hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we can also restore the damaged website very quickly because we will have multiple backup copies of your whole content.
