It isn't uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which aren't updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it won't be hard for a hacker to take over the website and following that to take control of other websites that are hosted within the very same account. To avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an excellent security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has only to its own folder, so in case one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content inside your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost will not replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will enable you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared hosting packages that we offer and you could enable it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the main domain folder, every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, therefore using JailHost can make a significant difference. You'll be able to select which Internet sites will use the option and will be locked based on your content since you may have some website where you would like to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders inside your Internet hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add an additional level of security to your websites along with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you'll be able to recover it fast and easy using any 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'll be able to start JailHost with several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel since we've included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not active by default simply because you may use an app which requires access to other folders inside the account and JailHost could cause problems, however you can protect all other websites by isolating them from each other. It is quite easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels save the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a main domain, so just one hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one website could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly bring it back thanks to the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it afterwards so as to protect it from potential attacks.
