It's not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the site and immediately after that to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the same account. To prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an innovative security option called JailHost. It limits the access which a script has only to its own folder, so in case one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content within your account, so the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, using JailHost won't replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will enable you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Hosting

We’ve included JailHost for all hosting plans, so you will be able to protect any of your Internet sites with only a few clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not active by default in order to avoid disturbing any sites where you may need visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all the other websites is really simple. Unlike other Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, making the control and the protection of many different websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, the rest of your websites will be protected and we always have multiple daily backup copies for the damaged one, so we can recover it to its initial state in a couple of minutes.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated server solutions and you'll be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not activated by default because we don't want to prevent some scripts that may need to gain access to multiple folders in your account from working properly. You can activate JailHost for all other websites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done effortlessly even if you have no previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have individual folders that could be "locked". In contrast, other well known Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is stored in the main domain folder, so in case a single site is hacked, the entire account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. If a site gets damaged regardless of your efforts, we will be able to restore it the way it was very quickly as we'll have a few daily backups of your entire account.
