It is not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords simply because they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these cases, it will not be difficult for a hacker to take control of the website and immediately after that to take control of other sites that may be hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we've added an advanced level security option called JailHost. It limits the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so if one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to access any other content in your account, which means that the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not replace the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll help you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared hosting packages that we provide and you can turn it on with only a click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the main domain folder, every single domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, thus using JailHost can make a major difference. You can pick which sites will use the option and will be locked depending on your content since you may have some Internet site where you want to allow users or admins to access other folders in your Internet hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add an additional level of security to your Internet sites along with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you could restore it fast and easy using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel as we've included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not activated by default as you might use an application that requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost may cause problems, yet you can protect all other websites by separating them from one another. This is really easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, a number of other Control Panels store the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one single 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 bring it back using the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards in order to protect it from future intrusions.
