It isn't unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the website and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we have added an excellent security option called JailHost. It limits the access which 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 part of your account, so the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost can't replace the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will allow you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

We’ve included JailHost for all shared web hosting plans, so you could protect each of your sites with only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel. The option isn't active by default so as to avoid interfering with any websites where you may want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all the other sites is really quick. Unlike many other Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, which makes the management and the protection of many different Internet sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other websites will be protected and we'll have several daily backups for the damaged one, which means that we can bring it back to its original state in just a few minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If 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 packages. It isn't activated by default since you may use an application which requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost may cause problems, but you could secure all other Internet sites by isolating them from one another. This will be very simple as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, numerous other Control Panels keep the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one single hacked website there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly recover it thanks to the multiple daily backups which we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from future intrusions.
