It is not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they are much easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other websites that are hosted within the very same account. To prevent such a scenario, we've added an advanced level security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has just 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 access any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Needless to say, using JailHost won't substitute the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will allow you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Hosting
If you host your sites within a hosting account from our firm, you'll be able to protect them by using the JailHost feature with just a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is accessible with all plans and can be activated for any folder since the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for many different Internet sites do not get mixed up like it quite often happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default because you could use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary website folder and this option may interfere with their proper operation, but protecting all of the other folders is simple and easy. If any protected Internet site gets hacked for whatever reason, we can recover it very quickly since we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups in Hepsia.
JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a semi-dedicated hosting account, you can activate JailHost with several clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel since we've included this option in all semi-dedicated packages. It isn't activated by default because you might use an application which requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost could cause problems, but you could protect all other websites by isolating them from each other. This is very simple as in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels keep the content of multiple Internet sites in subfolders under a main domain, so just one hacked site there means that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, just one Internet site could possibly get damaged and even in such a circumstance, we can quickly restore it thanks to the multiple daily backup copies which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it afterwards in order to protect it from potential attacks.
