If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a certain folder - either the primary Internet site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this option is turned on, a pop-up will appear anytime a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected just the domain.com folder. If the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody shall be able access the secured content. The function could be useful in various scenarios - if only a few people need to be able to see certain files, if you are building a site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting
With the password protection tool provided with each shared website hosting package deal that we provide, you'll be able to shield any content which you have within your account with just a few clicks. As the tool is part of our ground breaking Hepsia CP, it provides the same simple interface and you shall not require any special skills to use it. As soon as you check out the Password Protection section, you will need to select one of the domains or subdomains which you have in the account and then decide whether the protection should be activated for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then type in the username and the password that you would like and you will be set. A small padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the very same way you shall be able to add many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to create password protection for any content which you have within your semi-dedicated server account. We have integrated an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel using which you will be able to switch on the feature with a number of clicks and without any difficulties, even if you're not really tech-savvy. You'll simply need to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder which needs to be secured (the main folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection will take effect instantly, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL within your web browser, you will have to input the newly created login details before you proceed. You'll also be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of people, so you'll not have to share the same login details with anybody. Any password-protected folder shall have a tiny padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize this sort of folders in no time.
