JailHost
What are the actual advantages of having the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
If you host multiple websites inside the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it's more than likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There are different reasons why this could happen, the two most popular are: using very weak passwords or using out-of-date scripts with known vulnerabilities. This way, a single compromised Internet site can do a lot of damage to all your websites, because gaining access to one script normally allows hackers to access the entire web hosting account. This is the reason why we've created an outstanding security option known as JailHost. Once turned on, this option will literally lock an Internet site within its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other Internet sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they'll be shielded from further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't suggest that you should not keep your Internet sites up to date, but it'll greatly limit the damage.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is provided with all of our
semi-dedicated hosting packages, so in case you host multiple Internet sites, you will be able to isolate them from one another and keep them safe. This feature should be activated for every single website and is not enabled by default, to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders inside the account. Enabling it for all other domains will take no more than a couple of clicks within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place several Internet sites under the main domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it much simpler to maintain and shield your Internet sites. In case that an Internet site within your account is hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we can also recover the affected site in no time since we will have multiple backups of your entire content.
