It's not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords considering that they are less difficult 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 a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and following that to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted in the same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an innovative security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access that 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, which means that the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost can't substitute the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll allow you to limit the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
JailHost is available as standard with all the cloud hosting plans that we provide and you can turn it on with only a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the main domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, therefore using JailHost will make a significant difference. You'll be able to select which websites will use this feature and will be locked depending on your content since you may have some website where you prefer to allow users or admins to access other folders in your hosting account. Yet, this option will add one more level of security to your websites in addition to the firewalls that we use and even if any of your sites is hacked, you'll be able to recover it really easy using any of the several daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you could activate it with a couple of clicks. It is not activated by default because we do not want to prevent some scripts which require to access multiple folders in your account from working properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other websites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this very easily even when you do not have any previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have individual folders which can be "locked". In comparison, other popular Control Panels feature add-on domains and their content is kept in the main domain folder, so in case a single Internet site is hacked, the entire 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 in no time as we will have several daily backup copies of your account.
