It's not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords considering that they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it won't be hard for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and from that point on to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted within the same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we've added an excellent security option called JailHost. It limits the access that a script has solely 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 in your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not replace the security measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll help you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Web Hosting

If you host your websites in a web hosting account from our company, you will be able to protect them using the JailHost option with just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is accessible with all plans and can be enabled for every folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so that files for many different Internet sites never get mixed up as it quite often happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you might use scripts which need access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option may interfere with their correct operation, but securing all of the other folders is very simple. If any secured website gets hacked for whatever reason, we can restore it promptly as we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups from Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you can activate JailHost with a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel as we've included this option in all semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default for the reason that you might use an app that requires access to other folders within the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, yet you can protect all other sites by separating them from one another. This is very easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, numerous other Control Panels save the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from potential intrusions.
