JailHost
What are the main benefits of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
It is not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these instances, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and after that to take control of other Internet sites which may be hosted within the same account. To prevent this scenario, we have added an excellent security option known as JailHost. It limits the access that a script has only to its own folder, so in case one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content within your account, thus the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost can't replace the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it will help you to restrict the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Website Hosting
If you host your sites in a
website hosting account from our company, you will be able to protect them by using the JailHost option with just a few mouse clicks within 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 individual folders, so files for various Internet sites don't get mixed up like it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you might use scripts which need access to folders outside the main website folder and this option can interfere with their proper functioning, but protecting all other folders is simple and easy. In case any secured site gets hacked for whatever reason, we will be able to restore it promptly since we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups through Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
JailHost comes with all our
semi-dedicated hosting plans and you will be able to activate it with a few clicks. It is not enabled by default because we do not want to prevent some scripts which require to gain access to multiple folders in the account from functioning properly. You will be able to activate JailHost for all other Internet sites that you have from the Hepsia Control Panel and this can be done very easily even when you do not have any previous experience. What allows us to offer JailHost is the way in which Hepsia handles multiple domains - they all have individual folders which could be "locked". In comparison, other well known Control Panels have add-on domains and the content of the latter is kept in the primary domain folder, so in case a single website is hacked, the whole account is hacked, which isn't the case with Hepsia. In the event that a site is damaged regardless of your efforts, we'll be able to recover it the way it was right away because we'll have several daily backup copies of your entire account.
