JailHost
Understand what exactly ‘JailHost’ means. Identify the primary advantages of activating this option for your hosted domain names.
It's not unusual for many users to use weak passwords considering that they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that aren't updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take over the site and following that to take control of other sites which may be hosted in the same account. To prevent this kind of a scenario, we have added an efficient security option called JailHost. It limits the access that a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in case one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to see any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost won't replace the safety measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll allow you to limit any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Hosting
In case you host your websites within a
cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to protect them using the JailHost option with just a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all plans and can be enabled for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for many different websites do not get mixed up as it quite often 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 operation, but shielding all other folders is really easy. In case any protected site gets hacked for whatever reason, we will be able to recover it promptly because we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to search the available backups in Hepsia.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a
semi-dedicated server account, you'll be able to start JailHost with a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel because we have included this option in all of our semi-dedicated packages. It is not active by default because you may use an application that needs access to other folders within the account and JailHost could cause problems, yet you could secure all other sites by isolating them from one another. It is simple and easy because in Hepsia all domains and subdomains have individual folders. In contrast, a number of other Control Panels save the content of multiple sites in subfolders under a primary domain, so just one hacked Internet site there will mean that all of them will be hacked. With Hepsia, only one Internet site can get damaged and even if this happens, we will quickly restore it using the multiple daily backups which we will keep, so you can go ahead and update it after that in order to protect it from potential attacks.
