JailHost
What are the actual benefits of having the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple Internet sites inside the same account and one of them gets hacked, it's likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There're several reasons why this may happen, the two most popular are: using really weak passwords or using outdated scripts with known vulnerabilities. In this way, a single compromised Internet site can make lots of damage to all of your websites, as getting access to one script often allows hackers to access the entire hosting account. This is the reason why we've created a brand new security option called JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock an Internet site in its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other Internet sites in the account will be hidden. Thus they'll be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your websites up-to-date, but it'll greatly reduce the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
In case you host your websites inside a cloud hosting account from our firm, you will be able to protect them by using the JailHost feature with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is available with all packages and can be enabled for every folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for different websites never get mixed up as it often happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts that need access to folders outside the main site folder and this option can interfere with their correct functioning, but shielding all of the other folders is very simple. If a secured website gets hacked for some reason, we can recover it very quickly since we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups using Hepsia.
