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.

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.
