If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you'll be able to switch on password protection for a particular folder - either the primary site folder or any other one below it. If this option is enabled, a pop-up will appear each time someone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. If the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that nobody will be able to access the secured content. The feature can be useful in a variety of scenarios - if only a few people need to be able to see specific files, if you are creating a website and you do not want people to see it before it is completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting

If you use any of our shared website hosting plans, you can create password-protected areas easily even if you don't have any experience with this kind of matters. We have included a very easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia CP, which comes with all accounts, so you shall be able to protect any folder within just a few seconds. You'll only have to select a domain or a subdomain and the specific folder which should be protected (the main one or a subfolder), and then to enter the preferred username and password that will be used to access the folder in question later on. Each and every protected folder will have a padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you shall be able to see easily what content is secured and what is not. If necessary, you may create a number of different sets of login credentials for exactly the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

It will take a few mouse clicks to enable the password protection function for any folder which you have, in case you use one of our semi-dedicated servers. We have an incredibly practical tool, that offers a user-friendly point-and-click interface and which can be used by people with no experience. It is part of the Hepsia Control Panel, which you will get to manage your new account and once you log in and check out the Password Protection section, you shall be able to select the domain or subdomain that needs to be protected and then the particular folder - either the main folder or any subfolder under it. You will also see two boxes in which you shall have to input the login name and the password that will be necessary to access the folder in question and you'll be ready. By following the very same steps, you are able to set up a variety of login credentials for the same folder to give several people their own username/password. All secured folders will feature a small padlock sign in the File Manager section.
