A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the correct login credentials are supplied. This can be an entire site or simply a single page that is located within a subfolder. If you attempt to open this sort of a directory, you shall see a web browser pop-up in which you will need to enter a username as well as a password. If you enter the right ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without the need to do anything extra. In case the login credentials aren't right, however, you shall see a note that you aren't allowed to view the content. If this feature is enabled, you won't be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The function is quite handy if you need 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 Cloud Hosting

With the password protection tool supplied with each cloud hosting package that we offer, you will be able to protect any content which you have inside your account with simply a few clicks. Due to the fact that the tool is a component of our innovative Hepsia CP, it features exactly the same simple interface and you shall not need any special skills to use it. When you go to the Password Protection section, you will have to pick one of the domains or subdomains which you have within the account and then choose whether the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you would like and you shall be all set to go. A small padlock icon inside the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the very same way you shall be able to add numerous usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to protect any content which you have uploaded via our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it's a part of, so you will not have to type in any code at any time. You will only need to select one of the domains/subdomains which you have inside the hosting account and to select which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then type in the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be ready. The protection shall be activated straightaway, so anyone that attempts to access the freshly secured folder shall have to type in the correct login information. If various people should be able to open exactly the same content, you can create a separate username for each.
