JailHost
What are the main benefits of having the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
Using out-of-date apps or templates and plug-ins for them, or using simple passwords is always a risk for your sites since these things make it significantly easier hack them. Things get worse in case you have multiple websites because all of them will be in danger if an attacker gets control of just one of them. Because of this we've developed JailHost - an advanced security option that isolates sites from each other. If an Internet site gets compromised, its attacker will be unable to view or access any other content outside the site folder, so all the other Internet sites in the account will be protected and will remain intact. The JailHost option does not be a substitute for doing regular script updates or using proper passwords, but it will minimize any damage to your websites significantly, so you will have to fix only one site and not all of them.

JailHost in Shared Website Hosting
If you host your websites in a
shared website hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is available with all plans and can be enabled for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so that files for various sites don't get mixed up like it usually happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you may use scripts that need access to folders outside the main website folder and this option may interfere with their correct functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is very simple. If a secured website gets hacked for some reason, we can restore it very quickly as we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is available with all our
semi-dedicated server plans, so in case you host several different websites, you can easily separate them from one another in order to keep them safe. The option should be activated for each website and is not active by default, to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than several mouse clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place multiple websites under the main domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, which makes it much simpler to manage and protect all of your websites. In case that an Internet site within your account gets hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to recover the affected Internet site before you know it because we will have multiple backup copies of your whole content.
