It is not unusual for a lot of users to use weak passwords since they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins 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 control of the Internet site and following that to take control of other Internet sites that are hosted in the very same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we've added an efficient security option named JailHost. It limits the access which a script has just to its own folder, so in the event that one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content part of your account, therefore the damage will be minimal. Of course, employing JailHost won't replace the safety measures you need to take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it'll allow you to restrict any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Website Hosting
We have included JailHost for all shared website hosting solutions, so you could protect all of your sites with only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel. The feature is not enabled by default so as to avoid disturbing any Internet sites where you may need visitors or admins to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all the other sites is really simple. Unlike alternative Control Panels where most of the domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, making the control and the protection of multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, the rest of your websites will be protected and we'll have several daily backups for the affected one, so that we'll be able to bring it back to its initial state within a few minutes.
