It isn't uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it won't be difficult for a hacker to take over the website and after that to take control of other Internet sites that may be hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced security option named JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has just to its own folder, so in the event that one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content in your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. 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, but it'll help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all cloud website hosting plans, so you'll be able to protect your sites with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not active by default in order to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you might want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all other sites is very quick. Unlike alternative Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the management and the protection of many different websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, the rest of your Internet sites will be safe and we'll have several daily backups for the infected one, therefore we will be able to bring it back to its original state in a matter of minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is available with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, so if you host multiple Internet sites, you can easily isolate them from each other in order to keep them safe. This feature should be activated for each website and is not active by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than several mouse clicks within the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place several websites under the main domain folder. Instead, every single domain or subdomain has its own folder, which makes it much simpler to take care of and secure all of your sites. In case that a website inside your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to recover the affected Internet site in no time as we will have multiple backups of your content.
