It isn't uncommon for many users to use weak passwords because they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these examples, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the site and after that to take control of other websites which may be hosted in the same account. To avoid such a scenario, we have added an advanced security option known as JailHost. It limits 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 will not be able to access any other content inside your account, so the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost doesn't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it'll enable you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Web Hosting

In case you host your websites inside a cloud web hosting account from our firm, you can protect them using the JailHost feature with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is provided with all packages and can be enabled for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for many different websites never get mixed up as it usually happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts which require access to folders outside the main site folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is simple and easy. In case any secured Internet site gets hacked for whatever reason, we can recover it quickly since we will have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups through Hepsia.
