It is not unusual for many users to use weak passwords simply because they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins which are not updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it will not be a challenge for a hacker to take over the Internet site and from that point on to take control of other Internet sites which may be hosted within the very same account. In order to avoid this kind of a scenario, we've added an efficient security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has solely 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 view any other content in your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Needless to say, employing JailHost won't substitute the safety measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, yet it will allow you to limit the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all shared web hosting solutions, so you'll be able to protect any of your websites with only a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel. The option isn't active by default so as to avoid disturbing any Internet sites where you might want visitors or administrators to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all the other sites is really easy. Unlike other Control Panels where the vast majority of domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, which makes the control and the protection of multiple websites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, your other websites will be safe and we will have multiple daily backup copies for the affected one, so we will be able to restore it to its initial state in a matter of minutes.
