It is not uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords considering that they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these situations, it will not be difficult for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and from that point on to take control of other sites which are hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we have added an innovative security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in the event that one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content part of your account, so the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost won't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will help you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting

We have included JailHost for all cloud website hosting packages, so you will be able to protect each of your websites with just a few clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not enabled by default in order to prevent disturbing any websites where you may want visitors or administrators to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all your other sites is very simple. Unlike many other Control Panels where most of the domains have their files in the same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, making the control and the protection of multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be shielded and we always have a couple of daily backups for the affected one, so we can recover it to its initial state within a few minutes.
