It's not uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take over the website and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites which may be hosted within the very same account. To avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has only 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, thus the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost won't substitute 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 Shared Website Hosting

You can take full advantage of JailHost with each and every shared website hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks fast and easy. Every single domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our packages has a separate folder and in contrast to what can often happen with other Control Panels, the website content isn't mixed in a single main folder, so keeping your sites separate will be a lot easier. Activating JailHost for any Internet site takes just a few clicks, so even when you don't have much experience, you will not need any special skills to keep your sites risk-free. The option isn't active by default in case that you want to use some script that needs access to another folder in your account. In case you use JailHost, the other websites that you have will be protected, but even a hacked one won't remain damaged for long as we will have several daily backups for it all the time, so that we could easily restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to activate JailHost with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this feature in all semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default as you may use an app which requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost could cause problems, but you could secure all other sites by separating them from one another. This is quite easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In comparison, a lot of other Control Panels store the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just a single hacked website there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one site can get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly bring it back using the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it after that so as to protect it from potential future intrusions.
