JailHost
Find out exactly what ‘JailHost’ refers to. Find out the advantages of enabling this feature for your hosted domain names.
It isn't uncommon for many users to use weak passwords because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which aren't updated for a long time. In either of these instances, it won't be hard for a hacker to take control of the website and after that to take control of other websites which may be hosted within the very same account. In order to prevent such a scenario, we've added an innovative security option named JailHost. It limits the access that a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in case one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to see any other content in your account, therefore the damage will be small. Of course, employing JailHost will not replace the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will allow you to restrict any damage to one site only.

JailHost in Hosting
You can take advantage of JailHost with every single
hosting plan that we offer and protect your sites against attacks fast and easy. Each domain and subdomain in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our plans has a different folder and contrary to what can often happen with many other Control Panels, the website content isn't mixed up within just a single main folder, so maintaining your websites separate will be easier. Allowing JailHost for any website takes just a few clicks, so even if you don't have much experience, you will not need any special skills to maintain your websites protected. The option isn't active by default in case that you want to use a script which needs accessibility to a different folder inside your account. In case you use JailHost, the other Internet sites that you have will be protected, but even a hacked one will not remain damaged for long because we'll have several daily backups for it at all times, so we could promptly restore it.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Servers
JailHost is provided with all our
semi-dedicated server plans, so in case you host a couple of Internet sites, you'll be able to isolate them from each other and keep them safe. The option should be activated for each and every Internet site and is not enabled by default, so as to avoid interference with scripts which require access to multiple folders within the account. Enabling it for all other websites will take no more than several mouse clicks within the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Unlike other Control Panels, Hepsia doesn't place different sites under the primary domain folder. Instead, each and every domain or subdomain has its own folder, which makes it easier to maintain and secure all your sites. In case that an Internet site inside your account gets hacked, not only will your other Internet sites remain untouched, but we'll also be able to restore the damaged website in no time since we will have multiple backup copies of your entire content.
