JailHost
What are the basic pros of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
It's not uncommon for many users to use weak passwords considering that they are easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that aren't updated for a long period of time. In either of these cases, it won't be hard for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other Internet sites which are hosted within the very same account. To avoid such a scenario, we've added an innovative security option called JailHost. It restricts 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 won't be able to view any other content part of your account, so the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost will not substitute the safety measures you should take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will enable you to restrict any damage to one site only.
JailHost in Shared Web Hosting
If you host your Internet sites inside a shared web hosting account from our firm, you could protect them using the JailHost feature with just a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all packages and can be enabled for any folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so files for different sites do not get mixed up like it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default because you could use scripts that require access to folders outside the primary site folder and this option can interfere with their correct functioning, but protecting all the other folders is really easy. If a secured site gets hacked for whatever reason, we'll be able to restore it without delay since we'll have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to browse the available backups from Hepsia.
