It isn't uncommon for many users to use weak passwords considering that they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it won't be difficult for a hacker to take control of the site and after that to take control of other websites that are hosted in the same account. In order to avoid this scenario, we've added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has exclusively to its own folder, so if one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content inside your account, so the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost can't replace the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will help you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting

In case you host your websites within a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them using the JailHost option with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is accessible with all plans and can be enabled for every folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for various websites don't get mixed up as it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option may interfere with their correct operation, but securing all of the other folders is very easy. In case any secured website gets hacked for some reason, we will be able to restore it easily as we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you will be able to activate it with several clicks. It is not activated by default because we don't want to prevent some scripts which require to access multiple folders in the account from functioning properly. You could activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done very easily even if you don't have any previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia manages multiple domains - they all have separate folders which can be "locked". In contrast, other well known Control Panels feature add-on domains and their content is kept in the primary domain folder, so when a single website is hacked, the whole account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site is damaged regardless of your efforts, we'll be able to restore it the way it was without delay because we'll store several daily backups of your entire account.
