It isn't unusual for many users to use weak passwords considering that 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 instances, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take over the website and immediately after that to take control of other websites that are hosted within the very same account. To avoid such a scenario, we have added an advanced level security option known as 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 will not be able to view any other content in your account, which means that the damage will be small. Of course, employing JailHost doesn't replace the safety measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it'll enable you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Hosting

JailHost is available as standard with all the hosting plans that we provide and you could enable it with only a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the main domain folder, every single domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, which means that using JailHost will make a big difference. You can choose which Internet sites will use the feature and will be locked depending on your content since you could have some Internet site where you'd like to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders in your web hosting account. Nevertheless, the option will add a further level of security to your websites in addition to the firewalls that we use and even if any of your websites gets hacked, you will be able to recover it quick and easy using any of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this option in all semi-dedicated plans. It isn't activated by default because you might use an app that needs accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, however you can secure all other websites by isolating them from one another. It is very easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, many other Control Panels store the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a main domain, so just a single hacked website there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website could get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly bring it back via 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.
