Jail Host is now enabled by default for all new hosts

Introduced to our web hosting platform more than a year ago, the Jail Host functionality has brought a new dimension to the concept of site security.

By 'jailing' the 'germ' within the limits of a given host, Jail Host prevents it from spreading out to the rest of the account,offering extra protection against intruders who have managed to infiltrate
into the system

Now the Jail Host option is enabled by default for all newly created hosts to double protect them from intruders.

How does the Jail Host option work?

The main purpose of Jail Host is to
outsmart eventual intruders.

Even though security solutions are
getting more and more reliable, hackers seem to always be one step ahead of the game. The truth is that no universal painkiller for hack attacks has been invented yet.

This is where the extra Jail Host barrier can come in real handy.
If an intruder does manage to break into a website, if Jail Host is enabled, they will not be able to move to another host and spread their malicious activity.
Here is an illustration of how the Jail Host feature basically works:

As you can see in the figure above, the Jail Host-enabled domain is practically isolated from the other hosts in the /www directory within the same hosting account.

This prevents intruders from using the host as a doorway to the rest of the system in the event of an attack.
The tight encapsulation works at the Operating System level, which
guarantees its efficiency in all possible hacking scenarios.

By ensuring a segmental level of
protection, the Jail Host feature offers an innovative approach to keeping a hosting environment clean of smart intruders.
This way, even if one of your hosts
succumbs to an attack, you will have the rest of your content fully intact.

What will happen to already added hosts?

If you already manage domains with us,you can enable 'jail host' protection for them from the Hosted Domains section of the Web Hosting Control Panel.

In the Actions column of the table of
hosted domains, search for the Edit host option:

You will find the Jail host option at the bottom of the Edit host form:
Just tick the box and click on the Edit Host button to complete the action.

The Jail host functionality is supported on all web hosting services, which are compatible with the Hepsia Control Panel including cloud hosting packages,
Virtual Private Servers, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated servers.

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale. Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google, harder to search for results from other countries

For a long time, there was an easy way to conduct a Google search in a country other than the one you’re in. If you wanted to get results specific to Japan, for instance, you would visit www.google.co.jp; to get Australian results you would visit www.google.com.au — but this trick no longer works. Google has announced that it will now always serve up results that are relevant to the country that you’re in, regardless of the country code top level domain names (ccTLD) you use. The reason given is a little bizarre. The search giant says that the change has been introduced because of the way people are using the search engine these days. It says: “around one in five searches on Google is related to location, so providing locally relevant search results is an essential part of serving you the most accurate information.” The argument seems counterintuitive, however. Anyone who has changed the ccTLD has done so consciously, and for a reason — for Google to override this decision is strange...
