It isn't uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which aren't updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it won't be very difficult for a hacker to take over the site and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted within the same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we've added an advanced security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has only to its own folder, so in case one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content part of your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost won't replace the safety measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it'll help you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

If you host your sites inside a shared web hosting account from our company, you could protect them using the JailHost option with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all plans and can be activated for every folder because the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for different sites do not get mixed up like it quite often happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you might use scripts that need access to folders outside the main website folder and this option may interfere with their correct functioning, but securing all of the other folders is very simple. In case any protected Internet site gets hacked for whatever reason, we will 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.
