JailHost
What are the advantages of activating the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
It's not unusual for lots of users to use weak passwords considering that they're less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plug-ins that 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 Internet site and from there on to take control of other websites that are hosted in the same account. To prevent this scenario, we've added an innovative security option known as JailHost. It limits the access which a script has exclusively to its own folder, so in the event that one of your sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content within your account, which means that the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost won't replace the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will allow you to limit the damage to one site only.

JailHost in Cloud Web Hosting
JailHost is available as standard with all the
cloud web hosting packages that we offer and you could turn it on with just a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. In contrast to other Control Panels where add-on domains keep their content inside the main domain folder, each domain or subdomain in Hepsia has its very own folder, therefore using JailHost will make a major difference. You'll be able to select which Internet sites will use the feature and will be locked based on your content because you could have some Internet site where you'd like to allow users or administrators to access other folders inside your web hosting account. Yet, this option will add one more level of security to your Internet sites along with the firewalls that we use and even if any of your sites is hacked, you'll be able to restore it fast and easy using any one of the several daily backups of your entire account that we'll generate.

JailHost in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All of our
semi-dedicated hosting packages come with JailHost included by default. This option is not enabled automatically when you add a domain name as you may need to use a certain script that accesses several folders in the account, yet you'll be able to activate it without any difficulty from your Hepsia Control Panel and protect your other sites with just a couple of clicks. Hepsia is much better to use for those who have multiple websites as it keeps them in separate folders and doesn't keep the files for several sites in the very same folder as it often happens with various other Control Panels. This enables us to offer you JailHost as all the folders can be isolated from each other. If any of your websites gets hacked, we will almost instantly restore it because of the multiple daily backup copies that we'll keep and meanwhile your attacker won't be able to do further damage since the access to your other Internet sites will be cut off.
