JailHost
What are the main pros of having the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
Using obsolete apps or templates and plugins for them, or using simple passwords always poses a threat to your websites since these things make it much easier to hack them. Things get worse in case you have several websites since all of them will be vulnerable if an attacker gets control of only one of them. Because of this we've introduced JailHost - an advanced level security feature which isolates Internet sites from each other. In case an Internet site is compromised, its attacker will be unable to see or access any other content outside the website folder, so all the rest of the sites inside the account will be protected and will remain intact. Using the JailHost option cannot substitute performing regular script updates or using proper passwords, but it'll minimize any damage to your Internet sites significantly, so you'll need to fix only one website and not all of them.

JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
In case you host your websites in a
cloud website hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is accessible with all packages and can be enabled for each folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so files for different sites never get mixed up as it often happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option could interfere with their proper operation, but shielding all other folders is very easy. In case a secured website gets hacked for whatever reason, we can restore it easily since we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups in Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our
semi-dedicated hosting plans come with JailHost integrated by default. The option is not activated automatically when you add a domain name since you may wish to use some script which accesses different folders in the account, yet you will be able to activate it easily via your Hepsia Control Panel and protect the rest of your sites with just a few clicks. Hepsia is much better to use for people who have multiple websites since it keeps them in separate folders and does not keep the files for several websites in the very same folder as it often happens with various other Control Panels. This enables us to offer JailHost as all the folders can be isolated from each other. If any of your Internet sites gets hacked, we will almost instantly restore it using the multiple daily backups that we'll keep and in the mean time your attacker will not be able to do further damage since the access to your other websites will be cut off.
