If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you could enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. If this option is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each and every time somebody tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. When the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be positive that nobody shall be able access the secured content. The function may be helpful in various situations - if only some individuals need to be able to see specific files, if you are building a site and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

If you use any of our hosting solutions, you will be able to create password-protected areas without difficulty even if you have no experience with such matters. We've built in an extremely easy-to-use point-and-click tool into the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts, so you shall be able to secure any folder within just seconds. You will only have to choose a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that should be protected (the main one or a subfolder), and then to input the preferred username and password that'll be used to access the folder in question in the future. Each and every protected folder shall have padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see immediately what content is protected and what's not. If required, you could make several different sets of login details for the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to secure any content that you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's a part of, so you will not have to input any code at any time. You will simply need to pick one of the domains/subdomains you have in the website hosting account and to determine which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. After that you can input the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be all set. The protection will be turned on at once, so anybody who attempts to access the recently protected folder will have to input the accurate login info. When a number of individuals have to be able to access the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each one.
