A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login details are offered. This may be an entire site or simply one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you shall see a web browser pop-up in which you will need to enter a username and a password. If you type in the right ones, you will be able to continue browsing the content without needing to do anything additional. If the login details are not correct, however, you will see a note that you are not permitted to see the content. When this feature is active, you won't be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is extremely useful if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you work on a website and you do not want visitors to be able to access it prior to it being ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Website Hosting

All our Linux cloud website hosting packages include an exceptionally useful tool that'll allow you to protect any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with simply two mouse clicks. When you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will only have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to pick the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder that has to be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to input the username and the password that should be used so as to access the content in question. The function shall be activated instantly, so if you attempt to open the folder/website, you will be prompted to enter the login information. You could create or remove a number of usernames for the exact same folder, when necessary. If you check out the File Manager section, all password-protected folders shall be shown with a compact padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Securing any folder with a password will be very easy if you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with us. A user-friendly tool, that is incorporated into the Hepsia Control Panel, will enable you to select the exact folder you'd like to secure with a couple of mouse clicks and all you'll have to input will be the username and the password that will be used to access it afterwards. You won't experience any complications even if you have never had a hosting account before, considering that you do not need any previous knowledge or coding skills to switch on the function. If you repeat the same simple steps, you'll be able to set up various usernames for the very same password-protected area, so a number of people will be able to access a given folder with their own login credentials. You shall be able to see the protected folders easily either in the very same section of the CP or in the File Manager section where you will identify them by their little padlock icons.
