A password-protected directory is a folder that can't be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This could be an entire website or just one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up in which you have to type in a username and a password. In case you input the right ones, you can continue surfing around the content with no need to do anything else. If the login credentials aren't right, however, you'll see a note that you are not permitted to view the content. If this option is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The feature is quite handy if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting

With the password protection tool that is included with every single shared website hosting package that we provide, you shall be able to shield any content which you have in your account with simply a few clicks. As the tool is an element of our revolutionary Hepsia CP, it provides exactly the same simple interface and you will not require any special skills to use it. Once you check out the Password Protection section, you will have to select one of the domains or subdomains that you have within the account and then decide if the protection should be active for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you would like and you shall be all set to go. A little padlock icon in the File Manager section will tell you that a specific folder is password-protected. In the same way you'll be able to add several 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 Hosting

You shall be able to create password protection for any content that you have inside your semi-dedicated server account. We have included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia hosting Control Panel where you shall be able to switch on the function with several mouse clicks and with no difficulties, even if you are not really tech-savvy. You'll only need to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder that needs to be secured (the main folder or a subfolder) as well as the login name and password. The protection shall take effect at once, so if you make an attempt to open the password-protected URL in your web browser, you'll have to type in the newly created login credentials before you proceed. You'll also be able to give different usernames for the very same folder to a number of individuals, so you'll not need to share the same login details with everybody. Each password-protected folder shall have a tiny padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll be able to recognize this type of folders effortlessly.
