It is not unusual for many users to use weak passwords because they're 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 will not be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the website and after that to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted within the same account. To prevent this scenario, we have added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has just to its own folder, so in the event that one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content part of your account, which means that the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost does not replace the safety measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll allow you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Shared Web Hosting

We have included JailHost for all shared web hosting packages, so you could protect any of your sites with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not active by default in order to prevent interfering with any Internet sites where you might want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all other Internet sites is very quick. Unlike alternative Control Panels where the majority of domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, which makes the control and the protection of multiple Internet sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other websites will be protected and we'll have multiple daily backups for the affected one, which means that we will be able to restore it to its original state in just a few minutes.
