JailHost
What are the pros of activating the JailHost functionality? What exactly is 'JailHost', anyway?
It is not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because they're less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins which aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it won't be hard for a hacker to take over the site and after that to take control of other Internet sites which may be hosted in the same account. In order to prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an efficient security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has only to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content inside your account, therefore the damage will be small. Needless to say, using JailHost doesn't substitute the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll allow you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting
You can take advantage of JailHost with each and every
cloud hosting plan that we provide and protect your sites against attacks fast and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our solutions has a different folder and contrary to what often happens with many other Control Panels, the content isn't mixed up in just a single main folder, so keeping the sites separate will be far easier. Allowing JailHost for any website takes just a few clicks, so even if you do not have a lot of experience, you won't need any special skills to keep your sites protected. The option isn't active by default in case that you wish to use some script that requires accessibility to another folder inside your account. In case you use JailHost, the other websites that you have will be secured, but even a hacked one won't remain damaged for long because we will have a couple of daily backup copies for it all of the time, so that we can easily recover it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a
semi-dedicated hosting account, you'll be able to activate JailHost with a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we've included this feature in all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is not active by default because you might use an application that requires accessibility to other folders inside the account and JailHost might cause problems, yet you will be able to secure all other Internet sites by isolating them from one another. This is a piece of cake because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have separate folders. In contrast, a lot of other Control Panels store the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so only one hacked site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site could possibly get damaged and even if this happens, we can quickly recover it thanks to the multiple daily backups that we will keep, meaning that you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from future intrusions.
