If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or another one below it. If this feature is turned on, a pop-up shall appear every time somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have protected the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there is no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the protected content. The function may be beneficial in a number of scenarios - if only a few individuals should be able to see specific files, if you work on a site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so on.
Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting
With the password protection tool that is included with every shared hosting package deal which we offer, you'll be able to protect any content which you have in your account with simply a few clicks. Since the tool is part of our ground breaking Hepsia Control Panel, it provides the exact same uncomplicated interface and you will not need any special skills to use it. When you check out the Password Protection section, you'll need to pick one of the domains or subdomains that you have inside the account and then decide if the protection should be switched on for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password that you'd like and you will be all set to go. A little padlock icon within the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the same way you will be able to include several 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
It will take just a few mouse clicks to enable the password protection feature for any folder that you have, in case you use one of our semi-dedicated servers. We have an extremely effective tool, that has a user-friendly point-and-click interface and which can be used by individuals with zero experience. It's included in the Hepsia CP, which you will get to manage your new account and as soon as you log in and navigate to the Password Protection section, you shall be able to choose the domain or subdomain which should be secured and then the exact folder - either the primary folder or any subfolder under it. You'll also see two boxes where you will have to type the login name and the password which will be necessary to access the folder in question and you will be ready. By following precisely the same steps, you are able to create many different login credentials for the same folder to give several people their own username/password. All protected folders will feature a small padlock sign in the File Manager section.
