It is not unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords since they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these instances, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the website and following that to take control of other websites that are hosted within the very same account. To prevent this scenario, we've added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It limits the access that a script has just 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 view any other content within your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, using JailHost won't substitute the security measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll help you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

In case you host your sites in a shared hosting account from our firm, you could protect them by using the JailHost option with just a few clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is accessible with all packages and can be enabled for any folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so that files for different Internet sites never get mixed up as it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts which require access to folders outside the main website folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is simple and easy. In case a protected site gets hacked for some reason, we will be able to restore it easily since we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups from Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated server solutions and you can activate it with a few clicks. It is not turned on by default as we don't want to prevent some scripts that require to gain access to multiple folders in the account from functioning properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this quickly even when you do not have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia maintains multiple domains - they all have separate folders that could be "locked". In contrast, other widespread Control Panels feature add-on domains and their content is kept in the main domain folder, so if a single Internet site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. If a site gets damaged regardless of your efforts, we shall be able to restore it the way it was almost immediately because we'll store a few daily backup copies of your entire account.
