It's not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords because they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it will not be hard for a hacker to take over the website and from that point on to take control of other sites which may be hosted within the very same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an efficient security option called JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has solely to its own folder, so in case one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content in your account, therefore the damage will be small. Of course, employing JailHost won't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will allow you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

We’ve included JailHost for all shared hosting solutions, so you'll be able to protect all of your websites with just a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not enabled by default in order to prevent disturbing any sites where you may want visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all the other Internet sites is very effortless. Unlike some other Control Panels where most of the domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, which makes the control and the protection of multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be safe and we'll have a couple of daily backup copies for the damaged one, therefore we can restore it to its original state within a few minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can activate JailHost with several clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It isn't active by default because you may use an application that requires access to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, yet you can protect all other websites by isolating them from one another. This is simple and easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, a lot of other Control Panels store the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a main domain, so one single hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one site can get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly recover it using the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from potential future attacks.
