If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. Whenever this function is activated, a pop-up shall appear each time someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the protected content. The feature can be useful in numerous scenarios - if only certain individuals need to be able to see certain files, if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

When you use any of our shared hosting products, you will be able to create password-protected areas without difficulty even if you have zero experience with this kind of matters. We have integrated an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, provided with all accounts, so you'll be able to protect any folder within just seconds. You'll simply have to choose a domain or a subdomain and the specific folder which should be secured (the main one or a subfolder), and then to input the preferred username and password which will be used to access the folder in question in the future. Each and every secured folder shall have padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will be able to see instantly what content is secured and what is not. If needed, you could make several different sets of login details for the exact same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

Securing any folder with a password shall be really easy if you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company. A user-friendly tool, which is built into the Hepsia CP, will enable you to pick the particular folder you would like to protect with a few clicks and all you will need to input shall be the username and the password that'll be used to access it afterwards. You will not experience any difficulties even if you have never had a website hosting account before, due to the fact that you do not need any previous knowledge or coding skills to switch on the feature. If you repeat the same simple steps, you shall be able to set up numerous usernames for the exact same password-protected area, so a number of people shall be able to access a given folder with their own login details. You'll be able to see the protected folders easily either in the same section of the Control Panel or in the File Manager section where you'll detect them by their tiny padlock icons.
