A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the right login credentials are offered. This may be an entire website or only a single page that is in a subfolder. If you try to open such a directory, you shall see a web browser pop-up where you have to input a username and also a password. In case you input the correct ones, you can continue browsing the content with no need to do anything more. When the login credentials are not accurate, however, you will see a note that you aren't permitted to see the content. In case this option is activated, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is very useful if you'd like to limit the access to some content or if you are creating an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

Password Protected Directories in Cloud Website Hosting

If you use any of our cloud website hosting solutions, you can set up password-protected areas easily even if you have zero experience with this sort of matters. We've included a very easy-to-use point-and-click tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all accounts, so you shall be able to secure any folder within merely seconds. You will have to select a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that has to be protected (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to input the preferred username and password that will be used to access the folder in question in the future. Every protected folder shall have padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you'll be able to see immediately what content is secured and what is not. If required, you could make a number of different sets of login credentials for exactly the same folder.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll be able to secure any content which you have uploaded by using our protection tool. Its interface is as basic and intuitive as that of the Hepsia Control Panel it is a part of, so you'll not have to write any code at any time. You will only have to pick one of the domains/subdomains you have in the hosting account and to pick which folder should 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 shall be good to go. The protection will be switched on at once, so anybody who attempts to access the newly secured folder will have to enter the right login details. When several people must be able to access the same content, you can create a separate username for each one.
