It isn't unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because 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 situations, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and following that to take control of other sites which may be hosted within the same account. In order to prevent this scenario, we've added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts 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 won't be able to see any other content inside your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost doesn't substitute the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll enable you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Hosting

You can take full advantage of JailHost with each and every hosting plan that we offer and protect your websites against attacks really easy. Every single domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our plans has a separate folder and in contrast to what often happens with other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed up in just a single main folder, so keeping your websites separate is a lot easier. Allowing JailHost for any Internet site takes just a couple of clicks, so even when you do not have a lot of experience, you will not need any special skills to maintain your sites protected. The option isn't active by default in case that you intend to use some script which requires access to another folder inside your account. In case you use JailHost, the other websites that you have will be protected, but even a hacked one won't remain affected for too long since we'll have a couple of daily backups for it at all times, so we could quickly restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers

JailHost comes with all our semi-dedicated server packages and you will be able to activate it with several clicks. It is not enabled by default as we don't want to prevent some scripts which require to access multiple folders in your account from working properly. You'll be able to activate JailHost for all other websites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done very easily even if you do not have any previous experience. What enables us to offer JailHost is the way Hepsia manages multiple domains - they all have separate folders that can be "locked". In contrast, other widespread Control Panels feature add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the primary domain folder, so if a single website is hacked, the entire account is hacked, which is not the case with Hepsia. In case an Internet site gets damaged despite your efforts, we shall be able to restore it the way it was right away as we'll keep a few daily backups of your entire account.
