It isn't uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which aren't updated for a long time. In either of these cases, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the website and following that to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted within the very same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an efficient security option named JailHost. It limits the access which a script has just 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 view any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Needless to say, using JailHost won't substitute the safety 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 any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Hosting
We have included JailHost for all hosting plans, so you could protect all of your Internet sites with just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not active by default to avoid interfering with any Internet sites where you may need visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all other Internet sites is very simple. 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 multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other Internet sites will be shielded and we will have multiple daily backup copies for the infected one, so that we will be able to recover it to its original state in just a few minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you will be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not enabled by default as we do not want to prevent some scripts that may need to access multiple folders in your account from functioning properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this easily even when you don't have any previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia takes care of multiple domains - they all have individual folders that could be "locked". In contrast, other widespread Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the main domain folder, so in case a single site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that an Internet site is damaged regardless of your efforts, we'll be able to recover it the way it was almost instantly as we'll store several daily backups of the entire account.
