It's not uncommon for lots of users to use weak passwords simply because they are 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 will not be very difficult for a hacker to take over the site and from that point on to take control of other Internet sites that may be hosted in the same account. In order to avoid this scenario, we have added an advanced security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has solely to its own folder, so in the event that one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to view any other content inside your account, therefore the damage will be small. Of course, 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, still it'll help you to restrict any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
We have included JailHost for all shared hosting packages, so you will be able to protect your sites with just a few clicks within the Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not active by default to prevent interfering with any sites where you might want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all your other websites is really effortless. Unlike various other Control Panels where many domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their own folders, which makes the control and the protection of many different websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a website getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be protected and we always have a couple of daily backup copies for the affected one, so that we'll be able to restore it to its original state in just a few minutes.
