It isn't uncommon for many users to use weak passwords considering that they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it will not be hard for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other websites that may be hosted in the very same account. To prevent this scenario, we have added an efficient security option named JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so in the event that one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to access any other content inside your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, using JailHost doesn't substitute the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Website Hosting
JailHost is available by default with all the website hosting packages that we offer and you can enable it with just a click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content inside the main domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, thus using JailHost will make a big difference. You can choose which websites will use this option and will be locked depending on your content since you may have some website where you want to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Nevertheless, the option will add an extra level of security to your sites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites is hacked, you could recover it easy and fast using any of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting solutions and you will be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not enabled by default because we don't want to prevent some scripts which require to gain access to multiple folders in the account from functioning properly. You'll be able to activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this easily even when you do not have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have separate folders that can be "locked". In comparison, other widespread Control Panels have add-on domains and the content of the latter is stored in the primary domain folder, so if a single site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site gets damaged despite your efforts, we will be able to recover it the way it was right away because we will keep a few daily backup copies of your account.
