It isn't unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it won't be difficult for a hacker to take over the website and from there on to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted in the very same account. To prevent this scenario, we've 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 websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content part of your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost doesn't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will help you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Web Hosting

If you host your sites inside a web hosting account from our company, you will be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a few clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is provided with all packages and can be enabled for each folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so that files for different websites don't get mixed up as it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you may use scripts which require access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option can interfere with their correct functioning, but shielding all other folders is simple and easy. In case any secured website gets hacked for whatever reason, we can recover it easily as 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 can start JailHost with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this option in all semi-dedicated plans. It isn't activated by default as you might use an app that requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost might cause problems, however you'll be able to secure all other Internet sites by separating them from one another. It is very simple as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In comparison, a lot of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a main domain, so just a single hacked Internet site 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 recover it thanks to the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from future intrusions.
