It's not uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords simply because they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it won't be difficult for a hacker to take control of the website and after that to take control of other sites which may be hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced level security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has only to its own folder, so if one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content in your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost doesn't substitute the safety measures you need to 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 Hosting

JailHost is available as standard with all the cloud hosting plans that we provide and you could enable it with only a single mouse click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content within the main domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, so using JailHost shall make a significant difference. You'll be able to pick which sites will use this feature and will be locked depending on your content because you may have some site where you prefer to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders in your web hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add an additional level of security to your websites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you'll be able to recover it really easy using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It isn't activated by default because you may use an application that needs access to other folders inside the account and JailHost may cause problems, however you will be able to secure all other Internet sites by isolating them from each other. This is really easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In comparison, numerous other Control Panels keep the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one site could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards to protect it from potential attacks.
