It is not unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords simply because they're less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which are not updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and after that to take control of other websites which are hosted in the same account. In order to avoid this scenario, we have added an advanced security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in the event that one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content in your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost doesn't replace the security measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it'll allow you to limit any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the shared hosting packages that we offer and you can activate it with only a click from 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 big difference. You will be able to choose which sites will use this feature and will be locked based on your content since you may have some Internet site where you wish to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your hosting account. Nevertheless, this feature will add one more level of security to your websites along with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you will be able to recover it really easy using any of the multiple daily backups of your entire account that we will generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost is available with all our semi-dedicated hosting packages, so if you host multiple Internet sites, you'll be able to separate them from each other and keep them safe. This feature must be activated for each and every Internet site and is not turned on by default, in order to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other domains will take no more than a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place several sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, which makes it much easier to take care of and protect all your sites. In case that a site in your account gets hacked, not only will your other sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to recover the damaged website very quickly as we will have multiple backup copies of your whole content.
