It isn't unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords considering that they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it will not be very difficult for a hacker to take over the website and immediately after that to take control of other websites that are hosted in the very same account. To avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an excellent security option called JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has just to its own folder, so in case one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content within your account, thus the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost does not replace the safety measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will help you to limit any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the cloud website hosting packages that we provide and you can activate it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains store their content in the main domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its own folder, thus using JailHost can make a significant difference. You can choose which Internet sites will use this option and will be locked depending on your content since you could have some site where you would like to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your website hosting account. Nevertheless, the option will add an extra level of security to your websites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you will be able to restore it really easy using any one of the multiple daily backup copies of your entire account that we'll generate.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is available with all of our semi-dedicated server solutions, so if you host several different websites, you'll be able to separate them from one another so as to keep them safe. The option should be activated for every single site and is not enabled by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts that require access to multiple folders inside the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a couple of clicks in the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different sites under the main domain folder. Instead, every domain or subdomain has its very own folder, which makes it easier to maintain and secure your sites. In case that an Internet site in your account gets hacked, not only will your other websites remain untouched, but we can also recover the affected Internet site in a short time since we will have multiple backups of your entire content.
