It isn't unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords considering that they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these cases, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and following that to take control of other websites which may be hosted in the very same account. To prevent this scenario, we have added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has only 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 inside your account, which means that the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost won't replace the safety measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it'll allow you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Hosting

In case you host your Internet sites in a shared hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is available with all plans and can be enabled for each folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so that files for different websites never get mixed up as it often happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you could use scripts that need access to folders outside the main website folder and this option may interfere with their proper functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is simple and easy. If a secured site gets hacked for whatever reason, we'll be able to restore it quickly because we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

JailHost is available with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages, so in case you host several different websites, you can isolate them from each other so as to keep them safe. This option must be activated for each site and is not turned on by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other domains will take no more than a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different sites under the main domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it simpler to take care of and protect all of your sites. In case that an Internet site within your account is hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to restore the damaged Internet site in no time because we will have multiple backup copies of your entire content.
