JailHost
What are the main benefits of having the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple websites within the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's very likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There're various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with widely known weaknesses. That way, just a single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all your sites, as getting access to a single script generally allows hackers to access the hosting account. This is the reason why we have developed an innovative security option known as JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site 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 sites updated, but it will significantly limit the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Web Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all cloud web hosting packages, so you could protect each of your websites with just a few clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not enabled by default in order to prevent interfering with any sites where you may want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all other Internet sites is really easy. Unlike other Control Panels where most of the domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, making the management and the protection of many different sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other Internet sites will be shielded and we always have several daily backup copies for the infected one, which means that we will be able to bring it back to its initial state in a couple of minutes.
