JailHost
What are the actual benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
In case you host multiple sites in the exact same account and one of them is hacked, it is very likely that all of them will get hacked afterwards. There are various reasons why this may happen, the two most common are: using really weak passwords or using older scripts with well-known weaknesses. That way, just a single compromised site will do lots of damage to all your sites, since gaining access to one script usually allows hackers to access the whole Internet hosting account. This is the reason why we've created an innovative security option named JailHost. Once turned on, this feature will literally lock an Internet site inside its folder, so if an attacker takes over it, the other websites in the account will remain hidden. Thus they will be resistant to further intrusion. The JailHost option doesn't imply that you should not keep your websites up-to-date, but it'll significantly limit the damage.
JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
JailHost is available by default with all the cloud website hosting plans that we provide and you could activate it with only a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the main domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, therefore using JailHost will make a significant difference. You can select which websites will use this feature and will be locked in accordance with your content since you may have some site where you would like to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders in your Internet hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add one more level of security to your websites along with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your sites gets hacked, you'll be able to recover it really easy using any one of the several daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.
