It isn't uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords considering that they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it will not be very difficult for a hacker to take control of the site and from there on to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the same account. In order to avoid this scenario, we have added an excellent security option named JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has solely 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 access any other content within your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost won't substitute the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will allow you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Hosting

In case you host your sites in a hosting account from our company, you could protect them using the JailHost feature with just a few clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is accessible with all plans and can be enabled for every folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for many different websites don't get mixed up like it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default because you might use scripts that need access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option can interfere with their correct operation, but securing all of the other folders is really easy. If a secured site gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to restore it without delay as we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups from Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to start JailHost with a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not active by default for the reason that you may use an app which requires access to other folders inside the account and JailHost may cause problems, yet you'll be able to secure all other Internet sites by isolating them from each other. This is really easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In comparison, a number of other Control Panels save the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so only one hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one website could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly restore it via the multiple daily backups that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from potential intrusions.
