It's not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it will not be difficult for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and after that to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the very same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced security option known as JailHost. It limits the access that a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in case one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Of course, employing JailHost doesn't substitute the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will help you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Website Hosting

If you host your websites within a website hosting account from our firm, you will be able to protect them using the JailHost feature with just a couple of clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is accessible with all packages and can be activated for each folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for various Internet sites do not get mixed up as it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you might use scripts which need access to folders outside the main site folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is very simple. In case any secured site gets hacked for whatever reason, we can recover it easily because we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups using Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not active by default as you might use an app that needs access to other folders inside the account and JailHost may cause problems, however you'll be able to protect all other websites by isolating them from one another. It is super easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one single hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website could possibly get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly recover it thanks to the multiple daily backups which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it afterwards to protect it from future intrusions.
