In case you host multiple Internet sites within the very same account and one of them is hacked, it's likely that all of them will get hacked after that. There are several reasons why this could happen, the two most common are: using very weak passwords or using outdated scripts with known vulnerabilities. In this way, a single compromised website can make a lot of damage to all of your websites, as gaining access to a single script normally allows hackers to access the whole hosting account. This is the reason why we've created a new security option named JailHost. Once enabled, this option will literally lock a site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other sites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will be protected from further intrusion. The JailHost option does not mean that you should not keep your sites up-to-date, but it'll significantly limit the damage.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you can start JailHost with several clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It isn't active by default for the reason that you might use an app that needs access to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, but you can easily secure all other websites by isolating them from each other. This will be quite easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels save the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just one hacked site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly restore it via the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it afterwards to protect it from potential future attacks.
