A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the correct login details are provided. This may be a whole website or only a single page that's situated in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you'll see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will need to type in a username and a password. In case you type in the appropriate ones, you will be able to continue exploring the content without needing to do anything more. When the login credentials aren't accurate, however, you'll see a note that you aren't permitted to see the content. In case this function is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is extremely practical if you want to restrict the access to some content or if you are creating a 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 provided with every shared hosting plan which we provide, you will be able to protect any content which you have inside your account with simply a few clicks. As the tool is part of our ground breaking Hepsia CP, it features exactly the same simple interface and you'll not need any special skills to use it. As soon as you go to the Password Protection section, you'll have to choose one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then decide if the protection should be turned on for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you'll be all set to go. A little padlock symbol within the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you will be able to include multiple 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 Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to shield any content you have uploaded through our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is a part of, so you'll not have to write any code at any time. You will only have to choose one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the 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 in the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be good to go. The protection will be activated immediately, so anybody who tries to access the freshly secured folder will have to type in the right login details. If various individuals must be able to access the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each.
