It isn't uncommon for many users to use weak passwords since they are less difficult to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these cases, it will not be hard for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other websites that may be hosted in the very same account. To avoid this scenario, we have added an advanced security option called JailHost. It limits the access that a script has solely to its own folder, so if one of your websites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but won't be able to access any other content within your account, so the damage will be small. Of course, using JailHost does not replace the safety measures you should always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, but it'll help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Cloud Website Hosting
We’ve included JailHost for all cloud website hosting packages, so you'll be able to protect your websites with just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not enabled by default so as to avoid interfering with any Internet sites where you may need visitors or administrators to access content from other folders in your account, but activating it for all your other sites is very effortless. Unlike many other Control Panels where many domains have their files in the exact same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, making the management and the protection of many different sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of a site getting hacked, your other Internet sites will be safe and we always have a couple of daily backup copies for the damaged one, so we will be able to restore it to its original state in just a few minutes.
