It's not uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords considering that they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these cases, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the site and immediately after that to take control of other sites that may be hosted within the same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we've added an excellent security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has solely 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 access any other content part of your account, thus the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost will not replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will allow you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

In case you host your sites within a shared web hosting account from our firm, you can protect them by using the JailHost option with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is provided with all plans and can be enabled for each folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so files for different websites never get mixed up as it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts which require access to folders outside the main website folder and this option could interfere with their correct functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is very easy. If any secured website gets hacked for some reason, we'll be able to restore it easily as we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups in Hepsia.
