It is not 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 time. In either of these examples, it will not be very difficult for a hacker to take control of the site and immediately after that to take control of other sites that may be hosted in the same account. To prevent such a scenario, we've added an advanced security option called JailHost. It limits the access that a script has exclusively to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content within your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not replace the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will enable you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

We have included JailHost for all shared hosting solutions, so you can protect any of your Internet sites with just a few clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option isn't active by default in order to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you might want visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all your other sites is really quick. Unlike many other Control Panels where most of the domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, making the management and the protection of multiple sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, your other websites will be shielded and we will have multiple daily backup copies for the affected one, which means that we'll be able to bring it back to its original state within a few minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this feature in all semi-dedicated plans. It is not activated by default simply because you might use an application that requires accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, however you can protect all other websites by isolating them from one another. This will be really easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, many other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a main domain, so a single hacked website there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one site can get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly recover it via 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 potential attacks.
