If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can switch on password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or another one below it. When this option is enabled, a pop-up shall appear anytime a person tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected the domain.com folder. If the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way to get around this restriction, so you can be sure that nobody will be able to access the shielded content. The option could be useful in a number of scenarios - if only a few people need to be able to see specific files, if you are building an Internet site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, etc.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Web Hosting

With the password protection tool provided with each cloud web hosting package that we offer, you'll be able to shield any content which you have inside your account with only a few clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is an element of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel, it features the same simple interface and you will not require any special skills to use it. Once you go to the Password Protection section, you will need to select one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose whether the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type in the username and the password that you want and you shall be ready. A little padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you'll be able to add numerous 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 Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to protect any content that you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's a part of, so you'll not need to input any code at any time. You will only need to pick one of the domains/subdomains you have inside the hosting account and to choose which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then type in the username and the password, that will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be ready. The protection shall be turned on straightaway, so anyone that attempts to access the newly secured folder will have to enter the correct login info. When various people have to be able to access the same content, you could set up a separate username for each.
