It is not unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords because 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 instances, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and after that to take control of other sites which are hosted in the same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we've added an innovative security option known as JailHost. It restricts 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 will not be able to see any other content inside your account, which means that the damage will be small. Needless to say, using JailHost does not replace the safety measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will help you to restrict any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Website Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the website hosting plans that we offer and you could turn it on with only a single mouse click inside 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, so using JailHost will make a major difference. You will be able to pick which Internet sites will use this option and will be locked in accordance with your content as you may have some site where you wish to allow users or admins to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add an additional level of security to your sites in addition to the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you could recover it really easy using any one of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account which we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server plans come with JailHost integrated by default. The option is not enabled automatically when you add a domain name as you may wish to use a specific script that accesses multiple folders in the account, but you will be able to activate it with ease through your Hepsia Control Panel and protect the rest of your websites with just a few clicks. Hepsia is much better to use when you have multiple sites because it keeps them in individual folders and doesn't keep the files for several Internet sites in the same folder like it often happens with many other Control Panels. This allows us to offer JailHost as all the folders can be isolated from each other. If any one of your Internet sites is hacked, we can quickly restore it thanks to the several daily backup copies which we will keep and in the mean time your attacker won't be able to do further damage because the access to your other websites will be blocked.
