A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This could be an entire Internet site or just a single page which is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you will see a web browser pop-up where you will have to type a username as well as a password. In case you type in the appropriate ones, you can continue browsing the content without having to do anything additional. If the login credentials are not right, however, you'll see a note that you aren't allowed to view the content. When this option is activated, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is extremely useful if you need to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

With the password protection tool that comes with every shared hosting package which we provide, you will be able to protect any content that you have within your account with only a few clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is part of our ground breaking Hepsia CP, it offers the exact same uncomplicated interface and you shall not require any special skills to use it. As soon as you go to the Password Protection section, you'll have to pick one of the domains or subdomains which you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be activated for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you would like and you will be ready. A tiny padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the very same way you'll be able to include numerous usernames and passwords for the same folder if you'd 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 shall be able to protect any content that you've uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it is part of, so you will not need to write any code at any time. You will only need to select one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the web hosting account and to pick which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can enter the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be ready. The protection will be turned on at once, so anyone that attempts to access the recently secured folder shall have to enter the accurate login details. When several people must be able to access the same content, you could make a separate username for each of them.
