It is not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these situations, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the site and immediately after that to take control of other websites which may be hosted in the same account. To avoid such a scenario, we have added an efficient security option called JailHost. It limits the access which a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in the event that one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content in your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, using JailHost does not replace the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Website Hosting
In case you host your sites in a website hosting account from our firm, you could protect them by using the JailHost feature with just a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This option is available with all plans and can be activated for each folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have individual folders, so files for many different Internet sites don't get mixed up as it regularly happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you might use scripts that need access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option may interfere with their proper functioning, but protecting all of the other folders is simple and easy. In case a secured website gets hacked for some reason, we can recover it in a short time since we'll have multiple daily backup copies of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups from Hepsia.
