It is not unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords since they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it will not be hard for a hacker to take over the website and after that to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted within the same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has just to its own folder, so if one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content within your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost won't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will help you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Website Hosting

If you host your websites in a shared website hosting account from our company, you could protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is accessible with all packages and can be enabled for every folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so that files for various sites do not get mixed up like it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you might use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option could interfere with their correct operation, but securing all of the other folders is really easy. If a secured site gets hacked for some reason, we can recover it in a short time as we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups using Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

JailHost is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages, so if you host multiple websites, you will be able to separate them from each other in order to keep them safe. This feature has to be activated for each and every website and is not active by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than several clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place multiple Internet sites under the main domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, that makes it easier to control and protect your Internet sites. In case that a site in your account is hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we can also recover the affected site very quickly since we will have multiple backups of your entire content.
