It is not unusual for many users to use weak passwords considering that they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it will not be difficult for a hacker to take over the Internet site and from there on to take control of other sites that may be hosted in the very same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has just to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content within your account, therefore the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost does not replace the security measures you need to 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 advantage of JailHost with every single shared hosting plan that we provide and protect your sites against attacks quick and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our solutions has a different folder and contrary to what can often happen with some other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed in a single main folder, so keeping your websites separate will be much simpler. Enabling JailHost for any website takes just a few clicks, so even if you don't have much experience, you won't need any specific skills to keep your Internet sites safe. The option is not active by default in case that you want to use a script which requires access to an additional folder inside 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 as we will have a couple of daily backup copies for it all of the time, so we can promptly restore it.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of our semi-dedicated server packages come with JailHost provided by default. The option is not activated automatically when you add a domain because you may want to use some script that accesses several folders in the account, yet you'll be able to activate it effortlessly from your Hepsia Control Panel and protect your other websites with just a few clicks. Hepsia is much better to use for those who have multiple Internet sites because it keeps them in individual folders and doesn't keep the files for several sites in the same folder as it often happens with various other Control Panels. This enables us to offer you JailHost as all folders can be isolated from one another. If any of your Internet sites gets hacked, we will be able to quickly restore it because of the multiple daily backups which we will keep and meanwhile your attacker will not be able to do further damage because the access to your other sites will be stopped.
