It's not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the site and after that to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the very same account. To avoid such a scenario, we have added an innovative security option named 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 access any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost will not substitute the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll enable you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the hosting plans that we offer and you could turn it on with just a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content within the main domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, therefore using JailHost shall make a big difference. You'll be able to select which Internet sites will use the option and will be locked based on your content since you may have some site where you want to allow users or admins to access other folders in your website hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add a further level of security to your websites in addition to the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you'll be able to recover it quick and easy using any one of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account which we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server plans and you can activate it with a few clicks. It is not turned on by default since we do not want to prevent some scripts that need to access multiple folders in the account from working properly. You can enable JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done effortlessly even when you lack previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia takes care of multiple domains - they all have individual folders that can be "locked". In contrast, other widespread Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is stored in the main domain folder, so in case a single Internet site is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. If a site is damaged regardless of your efforts, we will be able to recover it the way it was very quickly because we'll have a couple of daily backups of the entire account.
