JailHost
What are the actual benefits of activating the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
Using obsolete apps or templates and plug-ins for them, or using simple passwords is always a risk for your websites since these things make it easier hack them. This will get worse in case you have several websites because all of them will be in danger if an attacker gets control of just one of them. Because of this we have created JailHost - an advanced security feature that isolates websites from each other. In case an Internet site is compromised, its attacker will be unable to view or access any other content outside the website folder, so all the rest of the Internet sites inside the account will be protected and will remain intact. Using the JailHost option will never replace performing regular script updates or using difficult passwords, but it'll minimize the damage to your sites significantly, so you will have to fix only one website rather than all of them.

JailHost in Shared Hosting
JailHost is available by default with all the
shared hosting packages that we provide and you can turn it on with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content within the main domain folder, every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, so using JailHost can make a significant difference. You will be able to pick which sites will use the feature and will be locked depending on your content because you could have some website where you prefer to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Yet, this feature will add a further level of security to your websites in addition to the firewalls that we use and even if any of your websites gets hacked, you'll be able to recover it quick and easy using any one of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all our
semi-dedicated server plans, so in case you host multiple websites, you can easily isolate them from one another in order to keep them safe. This option must be activated for each Internet site and is not enabled by default, in order to avoid interference with scripts which need access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other domains will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks in the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different websites under the primary domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it much simpler to maintain and secure all of your websites. In case that an Internet site within your account gets hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we can also recover the damaged website before you know it since we will have multiple backups of your whole content.
