It is not unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these examples, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and after that to take control of other websites that are hosted within the very same account. In order to avoid this scenario, we've added an advanced security option called JailHost. It limits the access which a script has just to its own folder, so if one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to access any other content in your account, therefore the damage will be small. Needless to say, using JailHost can't replace the security measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will help you to restrict any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Hosting
JailHost is available as a standard with all the hosting plans that we offer and you could activate it with only a mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content inside the main domain folder, each and every domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, therefore using JailHost shall make a major difference. You can choose which Internet sites will use the feature and will be locked based on your content since you may have some site where you'd like to allow users or administrators to be able to access other folders in your web hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add a further level of security to your sites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you will be able to recover it fast and easy using any of the several daily backup copies of your entire account which we'll generate.
