JailHost
What are the actual advantages of enabling the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
Using obsolete applications or templates and plugins for them, or using simple passwords always poses a threat to your Internet sites as these things make it significantly easier hack them. Things get worse in case you have several Internet sites because all of them will be in danger when an attacker gets control of only one of them. This is the reason why we have introduced JailHost - an advanced security feature that isolates websites from each other. In case a website is compromised, its attacker will be unable to see or access any other content outside the site folder, so all other Internet sites inside the account will be protected and will be intact. Using the JailHost option doesn't substitute carrying out regular script updates or using difficult passwords, but it'll minimize the damage to your Internet sites significantly, so you'll have to fix only one Internet site instead of all of them.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the
shared web hosting packages that we provide and you could activate it with just a single mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the primary domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, which means that using JailHost will make a big difference. You will be able to select which sites will use this option and will be locked based on your content because you could have some site where you would like to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your web hosting account. Nonetheless, this feature will add an extra level of security to your Internet sites in addition to the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you will be able to recover it quick and easy using any of the several daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a
semi-dedicated hosting account, you can activate JailHost with several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel as we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It isn't activated by default since you may use an app that requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, yet you can protect all other sites by isolating them from one another. This is really easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a lot of other Control Panels store the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a main domain, so a single hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site can get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly recover it via the multiple daily backups which we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it afterwards to protect it from potential future attacks.
