It is not uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords since they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long time. In either of these cases, it won't be hard for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites that may be hosted within the same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an excellent security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so if one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content within your account, therefore 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 will help you to limit any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
You can take advantage of JailHost with each and every cloud website hosting plan that we provide and protect your sites against attacks fast and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our plans has a different folder and contrary to what often happens with many other Control Panels, the website content is not mixed in a single main folder, so maintaining your Internet sites separate is rather easy. Allowing JailHost for any website takes only a couple of clicks, so even if you don't have a lot of experience, you will not need any specific skills in order to maintain your sites secure. The option isn't active by default in case that you want to use a script that needs access to an additional folder inside your account. In case you use JailHost, the remaining sites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one won't remain affected for long as we will have a couple of daily backup copies for it at all times, so we could easily restore it.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this option in all semi-dedicated packages. It is not active by default since you may use an application that needs accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost could potentially cause problems, however you could secure all other sites by isolating them from one another. This is very simple because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels save the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so a single hacked Internet site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site could get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly recover it thanks to the multiple daily backups that we will keep, which means that you can go ahead and update it afterwards to protect it from potential intrusions.
