If you'd like to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a given folder - either the primary site folder or any other one below it. In case this function is active, a pop-up will appear anytime somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information shall be required 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 method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the protected content. The option can be beneficial in numerous situations - if only a number of people need to be able to see particular files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

All our shared hosting packages feature a really convenient tool that will permit you to secure any folder within your account from unauthorized access with only two mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll just have to visit the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to enter the username and the password which should be used so as to access the content in question. The function shall be turned on straightaway, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to input the login information. You may create or remove multiple usernames for the same folder, if required. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be shown with a compact padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall 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 Control Panel it's a part of, so you'll not need to type in any code at any time. You will simply have to select one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the website hosting account and to select which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be all set. The protection will be turned on right away, so anyone that tries to access the freshly secured folder shall have to type in the correct login info. If several individuals should be able to access the exact same content, you could make a separate username for each one.
