It's not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these instances, it will not be very difficult for a hacker to take control of the site and from there on to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted in the very same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an advanced level security option named JailHost. It limits the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so in case one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content inside your account, so the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost won't substitute the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll help you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the cloud hosting plans that we provide and you can turn it on with just a mouse click inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike 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, which means that using JailHost can make a major difference. You'll be able to select which websites will use this feature and will be locked based on your content because you could have some website where you want to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders in your Internet hosting account. Nonetheless, the option will add one more level of security to your Internet sites in addition to the firewalls which we use and even if any of your websites gets hacked, you will be able to restore it easy and fast using any of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all of our semi-dedicated server packages and you could activate it with a couple of 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 functioning properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and you can do this easily even if you don't have any previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia manages multiple domains - they all have individual folders which could be "locked". In comparison, other widespread Control Panels have add-on domains and their content is stored in the primary domain folder, so in case a single Internet site is hacked, the entire account is hacked, that isn't the case with Hepsia. In case an Internet site gets damaged despite your efforts, we will be able to restore it the way it was very quickly because we'll store several daily backups of your account.
