It's not uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords because they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it will not be difficult for a hacker to take over the website and from that point on to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the very same account. To prevent this scenario, we've added an efficient security option called JailHost. It limits the access which a script has only 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 within your account, therefore the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost can't replace the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will enable you to limit any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all hosting packages, so you can protect your websites with only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature isn't enabled by default so as to prevent disturbing any websites where you may need visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all your other Internet sites is very quick. Unlike various other Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the management and the protection of many different sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be shielded and we always have several daily backup copies for the damaged one, therefore we will be able to bring it back to its original state in just a few minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is provided with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans, so if you host several different sites, you will be able to separate them from one another so as to keep them safe. This option has to be activated for each website and is not turned on by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other domains will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place different Internet sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, which makes it much simpler to take care of and shield your sites. In case that a website in your account gets hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we will also be able to restore the damaged Internet site in a short time since we will have multiple backup copies of your content.
