It isn't uncommon for a lot of 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 difficult for a hacker to take over the website and from there on to take control of other sites that may be hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent this scenario, we have added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It limits the access that a script has just to its own folder, so in the event that one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content in your account, so the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost will not substitute the security measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will allow you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Website Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the website hosting plans that we offer and you could turn it on with just a single mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the main domain folder, every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, so using JailHost will make a big difference. You can pick which websites will use the option and will be locked based on your content as you may have some Internet site where you would like to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add a further level of security to your Internet sites along with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites is hacked, you will be able to recover it easy and fast using any one of the several daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server plans and you will be able to activate it with a couple of 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 working properly. You'll be able to activate JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this quickly even if you don't have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia maintains multiple domains - they all have separate folders that could be "locked". In comparison, other popular Control Panels have add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the primary domain folder, so in case a single website is hacked, the entire account is hacked, which isn't the case with Hepsia. In case an Internet site gets damaged despite your efforts, we will be able to restore it the way it was right away because we will have a couple of daily backups of your account.
