It is not unusual for many users to use weak passwords simply because they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these instances, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and from that point on to take control of other Internet sites which may be hosted within the very same account. To prevent this scenario, we've added an innovative security option named JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so in the event that one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost can't replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll enable you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the cloud website hosting packages that we offer and you can turn it on with only a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content within the main domain folder, every single domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, therefore using JailHost will make a significant difference. You can choose which sites will use the feature and will be locked depending on your content as you could have some site where you wish to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your web hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add an extra level of security to your websites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you will be able to recover it fast and easy using any one of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to start JailHost with several clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It isn't active by default since you might use an application that needs access to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, yet you will be able to secure all other websites by separating them from each other. This is simple and easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, many other Control Panels store the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a main domain, so one single hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one site could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly recover it thanks to the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that to protect it from future intrusions.
