It isn't uncommon 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 examples, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and following that to take control of other websites which are hosted in the same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we've added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has only to its own folder, so in the event that one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content inside your account, so the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not substitute the safety measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll allow you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

If you host your Internet sites in a shared web hosting account from our firm, you will be able to protect them using the JailHost option with just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is provided with all packages and can be activated for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so files for different sites do not get mixed up as it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts that require access to folders outside the main site folder and this option may interfere with their correct operation, but shielding all other folders is very simple. If any protected site gets hacked for whatever reason, we'll be able to recover it without delay because we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to activate JailHost with several clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It isn't active by default since you may use an application that requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, but you'll be able to secure all other websites by isolating them from one another. This will be very easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels save the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a main domain, so a single hacked website there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website can get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly restore it via the multiple daily backups that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards in order to protect it from future attacks.
