JailHost
What are the actual advantages of enabling the JailHost functionality? What is 'JailHost', anyway?
Using outdated applications or templates and plugins for them, or using simple passwords always poses a threat to your Internet sites because these things make it much easier to hack them. This will get worse in case you have a couple of sites as all of them will be vulnerable if an attacker takes over just one of them. This is the reason why we have introduced JailHost - an advanced security option which isolates sites from each other. If an Internet site gets compromised, its attacker will not be able to find or access any other content outside the website folder, so all the rest of the sites hosted within this account will be protected and will remain intact. The JailHost option will never replace performing regular script updates or using proper passwords, but it'll minimize the damage to your websites significantly, so you'll have to fix only one Internet site not all of them.
JailHost in Shared Hosting
If you host your websites within a shared hosting account from our firm, you'll be able to protect them using the JailHost feature with just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. This feature is available with all packages and can be enabled for every folder as the domains and subdomains in Hepsia have separate folders, so that files for different Internet sites do not get mixed up as it frequently happens with other Control Panels. We have not activated JailHost by default as you may use scripts which need access to folders outside the main website folder and this option can interfere with their correct operation, but protecting all the other folders is very easy. In case a protected website gets hacked for some reason, we can recover it promptly as we will have multiple daily backups of your entire account and you will even be able to view the available backups through Hepsia.
