A new security function has been introduced to the Hepsia Control Panel named "jail host".
With the new ‘Jail Host’ option, the hosting platform will outsmart the intruders by ‘jailing’ them.

What does the ‘Jail Host’ function do?

When activating the ‘Jail Host’ option for a given host, you practically isolate it from the other domains within the www/ directory of the same hosting account.
This way, if hackers try to attack a given host, they will be immediately ‘jailed’ and locked only in that host.
By being ‘jailed’, the intruders will not be able to use the host as a doorway to the rest of the account where your other websites are located.

This restriction works on OS level, which will guarantee its efficiency in all cases of hack attacks on the given host.

When can I use the ‘Jail Host’ functionality?

The ‘Jail Host’ option can come in real handy when you hire a webmaster to work on your site. If you do not trust the webmaster, or you don't want to give someone complete access to your account, then this would be the perfect tool to protect your hosting account.
In this case, most hosting providers would recommend giving the guy limited FTP access to the particular host. However, if the guy comes with cruel intentions, they will still be able to break the FTP barrier and to litter your account with malicious scripts. If you ‘jail’ the host first, you’ll never risk putting your whole hosting account at risk.

The ability to ‘Jail a Host’ is a completely innovative option on the web hosting market and cannot be currently found readily implemented on any other hosting platform.
