It isn't unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords simply because 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 website and after that to take control of other websites that may be hosted within the very same account. To avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an efficient security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has just to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content within your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost can't substitute the security measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will enable you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Website Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared website hosting packages that we offer and you can turn it on with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content inside the main domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, thus using JailHost can make a major difference. You can pick which websites will use this feature and will be locked depending on your content since you may have some Internet site where you want to allow users or admins to be able to access other folders inside your web hosting account. Yet, this feature will add a further level of security to your Internet sites together with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your sites gets hacked, you will be able to restore it easy and fast using any of the several daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel as we have included this feature in all semi-dedicated plans. It isn't active by default simply because you might use an application that needs accessibility to other folders within the account and JailHost may cause problems, however you'll be able to secure all other websites by isolating them from each other. This is very easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In comparison, a lot of other Control Panels store the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one site could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly bring it back using the multiple daily backups which we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it afterwards in order to protect it from potential intrusions.
