It isn't unusual for many users to use weak passwords considering that they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it won't be very difficult for a hacker to take over the website and from that point on to take control of other sites that are hosted within the same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced level security option called JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has only to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content within your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost can't substitute the security measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will help you to limit the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Website Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all shared website hosting solutions, so you will be able to protect each of your sites with only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not active by default to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you may need visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all other sites is very effortless. Unlike many other Control Panels where the vast majority of domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the control and the protection of multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be protected and we will have multiple daily backups for the infected one, so we will be able to restore it to its initial state within minutes.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of our semi-dedicated server solutions come with JailHost included by default. This feature is not enabled automatically when you add a domain as you may want to use a script which accesses different folders in the account, yet you will be able to activate it without any difficulty through your Hepsia Control Panel and protect the rest of your websites with just a few clicks. Hepsia is much better to use for those who have multiple sites as it keeps them in separate folders and doesn't keep the files for several sites in the same folder like it often happens with other Control Panels. This allows us to offer you JailHost as all the folders can be separated from one another. In case that any of your Internet sites is hacked, we'll quickly restore it using the several daily backups that we'll keep and meanwhile your attacker will not be able to do further damage since the access to your other Internet sites will be cut off.
