It's not unusual for many users to use weak passwords simply because they're much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these examples, 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 scenario, we have added an advanced level security option named JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has exclusively 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 see any other content in your account, so the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not replace the safety measures you should 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 Shared Web Hosting

You can take advantage of JailHost with every single shared web hosting plan that we offer and protect your Internet sites against attacks quick and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our plans has a separate folder and contrary to what often happens with many other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed up inside a single main folder, so keeping the sites separate will be easier. Enabling JailHost for any website takes just a couple of clicks, so even if you don't have much experience, you will not need any special skills to be able to maintain your sites safe. The option is not active by default in case that you would like to use a script that requires accessibility to an additional folder inside your account. In case you use JailHost, the remaining sites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one will not remain damaged for long as we will have a couple of daily backup copies for it all the time, so that we could quickly restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can activate JailHost with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel since we have included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not activated by default since you might use an application that requires access to other folders inside the account and JailHost could cause problems, however you could protect all other Internet sites by isolating them from each other. This will be really easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a lot of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple websites in subfolders under a primary domain, so one single hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one website could get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we will quickly restore it via the multiple daily backup copies that we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it after that to protect it from potential intrusions.
