It isn't unusual for many users to use weak passwords because they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these examples, it will not be hard for a hacker to take control of the site and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted within the same account. To avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced level security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so in case one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content part of your account, which means that the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost doesn't replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
We have included JailHost for all shared web hosting plans, so you could protect any of your sites with just a couple of clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature isn't enabled by default in order to avoid disturbing any Internet sites where you may want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all your other Internet sites is really quick. Unlike other Control Panels where the majority of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, which makes the control and the protection of many different websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, the rest of your websites will be shielded and we will have several daily backups for the damaged one, so we will be able to restore it to its original state within a few minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is available with all our semi-dedicated server solutions, so in case you host several different Internet sites, you can separate them from each other and keep them safe. This option must be activated for each and every Internet site and is not turned on by default, in order to avoid interference with scripts that need access to multiple folders inside the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than several clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place several sites under the main domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its own folder, which makes it simpler to control and shield all of your websites. In case that an Internet site in your account gets hacked, not only will your other Internet sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to recover the damaged site very quickly as we will have multiple backups of your entire content.
