If you wish to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you could switch on password protection for a particular folder - either the main Internet site folder or a different one below it. Whenever this option is active, a pop-up shall appear anytime a person attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the protected content. The feature may be beneficial in a variety of situations - if only some people need to be able to see certain files, if you work on an Internet site and you do not want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting

With the password protection tool that comes with each shared website hosting package which we provide, you shall be able to shield any content that you have inside your account with simply a few clicks. Since the tool is an element of our innovative Hepsia CP, it offers the same simple interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. As soon as you visit the Password Protection section, you will need to select one of the domains or subdomains that you have within the account and then choose whether the protection should be active for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password that you'd like and you shall be ready. A small padlock symbol within the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you shall be able to include many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to set up password protection for any content that you have within your semi-dedicated server account. We've included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel through which you shall be able to enable the function with several clicks and without any difficulties, even if you are not really tech-savvy. You will simply need to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the specific folder that has to be secured (the primary folder or a subfolder) and the login name and password. The protection will take effect at once, so if you attempt to open the password-protected URL within your browser, you will need to type the newly created login details in order to proceed. You will also be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of individuals, so you will not need to share the same login credentials with anyone. Each password-protected folder shall have a tiny padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize this sort of folders easily.
