If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a specific folder - either the primary Internet site folder or a different one below it. If this feature is activated, a pop-up shall appear each and every time anyone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login info shall be needed for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg when you have protected only the domain.com folder. If the credentials are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way of getting around this restriction, so you can rest assured that nobody shall be able access the shielded content. The function can be helpful in various scenarios - if only a few people need to be able to see certain files, if you are creating a site and you don't want people to see it before it's completed, etc.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Hosting

With the password protection tool provided with every single shared hosting package deal that we offer, you shall be able to protect any content which you have in your account with merely a few clicks. As the tool is a component of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel, it provides exactly the same simple interface and you shall not require any special skills to use it. Once you visit the Password Protection section, you will have to select one of the domains or subdomains which you have within the account and then decide whether the protection should be turned on for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you'd like and you'll be all set. A small padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the exact same way you shall be able to add numerous 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 will 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 website hosting Control Panel using which you will be able to activate the function with a number of mouse clicks and without any problems, even if you are not quite tech-savvy. You'll simply need to choose the hostname (domain or subdomain), the specific folder that should be secured (the primary folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection will take effect immediately, so if you make an effort to open the password-protected URL inside your web browser, you'll need to input the newly created login details before you can proceed. Additionally, you'll be able to give different usernames for the same folder to a number of people, so you will not need to share the same login credentials with anyone. Each password-protected folder shall have a compact padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you'll be able to recognize this type of folders in no time.
