It's not uncommon for a lot of users to use weak passwords simply because they're easier to remember or to use scripts, templates and plugins that are not updated for a long time. In either of these examples, it won't be a challenge for a hacker to take control of the Internet site and immediately after that to take control of other websites which are hosted within the very same account. In order to prevent this scenario, we have added an advanced security option called JailHost. It restricts the access that a script has just to its own folder, so if one of your Internet sites is compromised, the attacker will see its content, but will not be able to view any other content inside your account, which means that the damage will be minimal. Of course, using JailHost won't replace the security measures you must always take by keeping your scripts up-to-date and using long and complex passwords, still it will help you to restrict the damage to one site only.
JailHost in Cloud Hosting
We have included JailHost for all cloud hosting solutions, so you will be able to protect each of your websites with just a couple of clicks within your Hepsia Control Panel. The option is not enabled by default in order to prevent disturbing any Internet sites where you might want visitors or admins to be able to access content from other folders inside your account, but activating it for all your other Internet sites is very quick. Unlike alternative Control Panels where a lot of domains have their files in the very same main folder, all domains and subdomains in Hepsia have their very own folders, which makes the control and the protection of many different sites easier. In the unfortunate scenario of an Internet site getting hacked, the rest of your sites will be protected and we will have a couple of daily backups for the infected one, so we will be able to bring it back to its initial state in a matter of minutes.
