If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to enable password protection for a particular folder - either the main site folder or any other one below it. In case this feature is turned on, a pop-up shall appear each time someone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected only the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no way of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one will be able to access the secured content. The function may be helpful in a number of cases - if only a few people should be able to see specific files, if you are developing a website and you don't want people to see it before it is completed, and so forth.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

Creating a password-protected area shall take no more than a few clicks and a few seconds when you host your sites in a web hosting account with our company. You'll not have to do anything complicated - you'll have to select a domain/subdomain, to select which folder under it should be secured, and then to input the login name and password that will be used to access that folder. In case a number of people require their own login credentials, there shall not be a problem to set up a variety of different usernames with access to the same exact folder. All secured folders will appear with a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you will always know where this feature is active. If you want to turn off the protection function for any folder, you can deactivate it from the same exact section of the Control Panel where you have enabled it.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to secure any content that you've uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is part of, so you shall not need to input any code at any time. You will only have to pick one of the domains/subdomains that you have in the hosting account and to pick which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. After that you can enter the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be all set. The protection will be turned on straightaway, so anybody who attempts to access the newly protected folder will have to type in the correct login info. When several people have to be able to access the same content, you can create a separate username for each.
