It isn't unusual for many users to use weak passwords because they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it won't be very difficult for a hacker to take control of the site and following that to take control of other websites which are hosted in the same account. To avoid such a scenario, we've added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has just to its own folder, so in case one of your websites 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 minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost won't replace the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll enable you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites within a shared hosting account from our company, you will be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is available with all packages and can be activated for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so files for various sites never get mixed up like it usually happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts that require access to folders outside the main website folder and this option could interfere with their proper operation, but securing all of the other folders is very simple. In case a protected Internet site gets hacked for whatever reason, we can restore it very quickly because we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups using Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated server plans and you'll be able to activate it with several clicks. It is not activated by default as we do not want to prevent some scripts which require to access multiple folders in your account from functioning properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this very easily even if you lack previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia manages multiple domains - they all have separate folders which could be "locked". In comparison, other well known Control Panels have add-on domains and their content is stored in the main domain folder, so when a single website is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which isn't the case with Hepsia. If a site is damaged regardless of your efforts, we shall be able to recover it the way it was in no time because we'll have several daily backups of the whole account.
