JailHost
What are the main pros of activating the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
Using outdated apps or templates and plug-ins for them, or using simple passwords is always a risk for your Internet sites since these things make it much easier to hack them. Things will get even worse when you have a couple of sites since all of them will be in danger if an attacker gets control of only one of them. This is the reason why we have developed JailHost - an advanced security feature that isolates Internet sites from each other. In case a site is compromised, its attacker will not be able to see or gain access to any other content outside the website folder, so all other websites part of the account will be protected and will remain intact. Using the JailHost option cannot be a substitute for carrying out frequent script updates or using proper passwords, but it will minimize the damage to your websites significantly, so you'll need to fix only one site instead of all of them.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
If you host your Internet sites in a
shared web hosting account from our firm, you will be able to protect them using the JailHost feature with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all plans and can be activated for every folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for many different Internet sites never get mixed up like it quite often happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you might use scripts that require access to folders outside the main site folder and this option could interfere with their correct operation, but securing all other folders is really easy. In case a secured Internet site gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to recover it easily as we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our
semi-dedicated server packages come with JailHost provided by default. This option is not activated automatically when you add a domain name since you may need to use a specific script which accesses different folders in the account, but you can activate it without any difficulty via your Hepsia Control Panel and protect your other sites with just a couple of clicks. Hepsia is much better to use for those who have multiple sites as it keeps them in separate folders and doesn't keep the files for several sites in the very same folder as it often happens with many other Control Panels. This allows us to offer you JailHost as all the folders can be separated from one another. In case that any one of your sites is hacked, we will quickly restore it using the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep and meanwhile the attacker will not be able to do further damage because the access to your other websites will be blocked.
