JailHost
What are the actual benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
It isn't uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords considering that they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it will not be hard for a hacker to take control of the website and from there on to take control of other websites which are hosted in the very same account. To prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It restricts the access which a script has only to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content in your account, therefore the damage will be small. Needless to say, employing JailHost can't replace the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll allow you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting
If you host your websites within a
cloud hosting account from our firm, you could protect them using the JailHost option with just a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is provided with all plans and can be activated for each folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have different folders, so files for many different websites don't get mixed up as it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We haven't activated JailHost by default as you could use scripts that need access to folders outside the main website folder and this option could interfere with their proper functioning, but securing all of the other folders is very simple. If a protected Internet site gets hacked for whatever reason, we'll be able to restore it very quickly because we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups from Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all of our
semi-dedicated server solutions, so if you host several websites, you will be able to isolate them from each other so as to keep them safe. The option should be activated for each and every Internet site and is not active by default, in order to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders within the account. Activating it for all other websites will take no more than a few clicks within the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Unlike many other Control Panels, Hepsia does not place different websites under the primary domain folder. Instead, every single domain or subdomain has its own folder, that makes it simpler to manage and secure all of your sites. In case that a website inside your account is hacked, not only will your other Internet sites remain untouched, but we will also be able to recover the damaged site in no time as we will have multiple backup copies of your content.
