It isn't uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they're 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 difficult for a hacker to take control of the website and from there on to take control of other sites which are hosted within the same account. In order to prevent this scenario, we've added an advanced security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has exclusively 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 view any other content within your account, therefore the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost doesn't substitute the safety measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will enable you to limit any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Web Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the web hosting packages that we offer and you can enable it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the primary domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, which means that using JailHost can make a big difference. You will be able to pick which websites will use this feature and will be locked in accordance with your content because you may have some site where you'd like to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add an additional level of security to your websites along with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites is hacked, you'll be able to restore it really easy using any of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all our semi-dedicated server plans, so if you host several websites, you can separate them from each other so as to keep them safe. The option has to be activated for each and every site and is not turned on by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders inside the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than several clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place multiple Internet sites under the main domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it simpler to maintain and shield all of your sites. In case that a website inside your account is hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to restore the damaged website before you know it as we will have multiple backups of your whole content.
