It isn't uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords since they're less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these examples, it will not be hard for a hacker to take control of the website and from there on to take control of other websites that are hosted within the very same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we have added an efficient security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has exclusively 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 access any other content in your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost doesn't substitute the security measures you should always 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 Hosting

JailHost is available by default with all the shared hosting packages that we provide and you could turn it on with only a single mouse click from your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content in the main domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, which means that using JailHost will make a significant difference. You will be able to select which websites will use this feature and will be locked in accordance with your content as you could have some website where you want to allow users or admins to access other folders in your web hosting account. Nevertheless, this option will add one more level of security to your sites together with the firewalls which we use and even if any of your Internet sites gets hacked, you will be able to recover it really easy using any of the several daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.
