It's not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords considering that they are 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 will not be very difficult for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and from that point on to take control of other sites that may be hosted in the same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we have added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has solely to its own folder, so in case one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to access any other content in your account, thus the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost can't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will help you to restrict any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Hosting
If you host your sites within a hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is available with all plans and can be activated for any folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so files for many different websites don't get mixed up as it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts which require access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option may interfere with their correct functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is very easy. In case a secured website gets hacked for whatever reason, we will be able to recover it easily since we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups through Hepsia.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server plans and you will be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not activated by default since we do not want to prevent some scripts that require to access multiple folders in your account from functioning properly. You'll be able to activate JailHost for all other sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this very easily even if you don't have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia maintains multiple domains - they all have separate folders that can 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 if a single website is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which isn't the case with Hepsia. In case an Internet site gets damaged regardless of your efforts, we shall be able to recover it the way it was almost immediately because we will have several daily backups of your account.
