It is not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these instances, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and from there on to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted in the very same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an innovative security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has solely to its own folder, so if one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content inside your account, so the damage will be small. Needless to say, using JailHost doesn't substitute the security measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will help you to limit any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
You can take full advantage of JailHost with every single shared hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks really 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 some other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed up inside a single main folder, so keeping your websites separate is far easier. Allowing JailHost for any website takes only a few clicks, so even if you don't have much experience, you won't need any special skills to keep your Internet sites protected. The option is not active by default in case that you wish to use some script which requires access to an additional folder in your account. If you use JailHost, the other sites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one won't remain damaged for too long since we will have a couple of daily backup copies for it at all times, so that we could quickly restore it.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All our semi-dedicated hosting solutions come with JailHost integrated by default. This option is not activated automatically when you add a domain name since you may want to use a certain script that accesses different folders in the account, but you'll be able to activate it easily via your Hepsia Control Panel and protect the rest of your websites with just a couple of clicks. Hepsia is much better to use for those who have multiple sites as it keeps them in individual folders and doesn't keep the files for several websites in the very same folder as it often happens with various other Control Panels. This enables us to offer you JailHost as all the folders can be isolated from each other. If any of your websites is hacked, we will be able to quickly restore it using the several daily backups that we will keep and meanwhile your attacker will not be able to do further damage as the access to your other sites will be stopped.
