It isn't unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it won't be hard for a hacker to take over the site and from that point on to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an excellent security option named JailHost. It limits the access which a script has only 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 within your account, so the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not substitute the security measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it'll help you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

You can take advantage of JailHost with every single shared hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks quick and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our packages has a separate folder and contrary to what can often happen with many other Control Panels, the website content is not mixed in a single main folder, so maintaining your Internet sites separate will be much easier. Activating JailHost for any site takes just a couple of clicks, so even if you don't have much experience, you won't need any special skills to be able to keep your Internet sites protected. The option isn't active by default in case that you intend to use some script that needs access to a different folder in your account. In case you use JailHost, the other Internet sites that you have will be protected, but even a hacked one won't remain affected for too long since we'll have a couple of daily backups for it at all times, so that we could promptly recover it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you can activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this option in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not activated by default simply because you might use an application that requires access to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, but you'll be able to secure all other Internet sites by separating them from one another. It is really easy as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, a lot of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a main domain, so one single hacked website there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one site could possibly get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly bring it back via the multiple daily backups that we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that to protect it from potential future attacks.
