It isn't uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it will not be difficult for a hacker to take over the website and immediately after that to take control of other sites which are hosted within the very same account. To avoid such a scenario, we've added an innovative security option named JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has solely to its own folder, so in the event that one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content within your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost can't replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared hosting packages that we provide and you can enable it with just a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the primary domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, therefore using JailHost will make a major difference. You'll be able to choose which Internet sites will use this feature and will be locked depending on your content because you may have some site where you would like to allow users or administrators to access other folders in your Internet hosting account. Yet, this option will add a further level of security to your sites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites is hacked, you will be able to restore it easy and fast using any of the multiple daily backup copies 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 start JailHost with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel since we've included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It isn't active by default as you might use an app which requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost might cause problems, yet you can secure all other websites by separating them from one another. This will be super easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels keep the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a main domain, so one single hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site can get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly restore it using the multiple daily backups that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards so as to protect it from future attacks.
