It is not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords because they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it won't be hard for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted in the very same account. To avoid this scenario, we have added an innovative security option named JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has solely 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 part of your account, thus the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, using JailHost does not replace the safety measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll enable you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

We have included JailHost for all shared web hosting packages, so you can protect each of your websites with just a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not enabled by default to avoid interfering with any sites where you might want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all the other websites is really easy. Unlike some other Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the control and the protection of many different websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other Internet sites will be protected and we will have several daily backups for the affected one, so we will be able to bring it back to its original state within minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to start JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel as we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not activated by default as you may use an app that requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost may cause problems, yet you can protect all other sites by separating them from each other. It is super easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels store the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a main domain, so a single hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website can get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly recover it using the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards in order to protect it from potential future attacks.
