A password-protected directory is a folder which can't be accessed unless the correct login details are supplied. This could be an entire site or just one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you shall see a browser pop-up where you have to type in a username as well as a password. In case you type the correct ones, you'll be able to continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything more. When the login details aren't correct, however, you shall see a note that you are not permitted to see the content. When this function is activated, you won't be able to open a file even when you have a direct link. The option is quite effective if you'd like to restrict the access to some content or if you work on a site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

Creating a password-protected area shall take no more than a few clicks and a few seconds when you host your Internet sites in a web hosting account with us. You will not have to do anything difficult - you will have to choose a domain/subdomain, to select which folder under it has to be protected, and then to input the login name and password which will be used to access that folder. In case a number of individuals require their own login details, there shall not be a problem to make a variety of different usernames with access to the same exact folder. All protected folders shall appear with a padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll always know where this feature is active. If you'd like to deactivate the security feature for any folder, you can disable it from the exact same section of the Control Panel where you have enabled it.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall be able to protect any content that you have uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's part of, so you will not need to enter any code at any time. You'll simply have to select one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the hosting account and to select which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. After that you can type the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be all set. The protection shall be turned on straightaway, so anyone who attempts to access the newly secured folder will have to type in the accurate login information. When several people have to be able to access precisely the same content, you can create a separate username for each.
