It is not uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords because they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it will not be very difficult for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and from there on to take control of other sites that may be hosted in the same account. To prevent this scenario, we've added an efficient security option called JailHost. It limits the access that a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in case one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content part of your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, using JailHost can't substitute the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will allow you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Website Hosting

JailHost is available as standard with all the website hosting packages that we provide and you could enable it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the primary domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, so using JailHost will make a major difference. You will be able to select which websites will use this feature and will be locked based on your content since you could have some website where you would like to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders in your web hosting account. Nonetheless, this option will add a further level of security to your websites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites is hacked, you will be able to recover it really easy using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account which we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages and you can activate it with several clicks. It is not activated by default since we do not want to prevent some scripts that need to gain access to multiple folders in your account from functioning properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other websites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done very easily even when you have no previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia takes care of multiple domains - they all have individual folders which could be "locked". In comparison, other well known Control Panels have add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the primary domain folder, so when a single website is hacked, the entire account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. If an Internet site is damaged despite your efforts, we will be able to restore it the way it was very quickly since we'll have several daily backups of your entire account.
