Password Protected Directories
Find out how to set up a secure and user-only area in your site with password-protected directories.
A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are provided. This could be an entire site or simply one page that is located in a subfolder. If you attempt to open such a directory, you'll see a browser pop-up where you will have to type in a username and also a password. In case you type in the appropriate ones, you'll be able to continue browsing the content with no need to do anything else. If the login credentials are not right, however, you shall see information that you are not authorized to see the content. In case this function is active, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The feature is incredibly effective if you want to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Hosting

cloud hosting package that we provide, you will be able to protect any content that you have within your account with merely a few clicks.

Once you check out the Password Protection section, you'll have to choose one of the domains or subdomains that you have within the account and then decide whether the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then type the username and the password that you'd like and you shall be all set. A little padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you shall be able to add a number of 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 Servers
When you have a
semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to secure any content that you have uploaded by using our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it is part of, so you'll not have to input any code at any time. You'll simply have to choose one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the website hosting account and to determine which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can input the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be good to go. The protection shall be switched on straightaway, so anyone that attempts to access the recently secured folder shall have to input the accurate login details. In case a number of individuals must be able to open the same content, you could set up a separate username for each one.
