A password-protected directory is a folder that cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This can be a whole Internet site or just one page that is in a subfolder. If you attempt to open this kind of a directory, you shall see an Internet browser pop-up in which you will have to input a username as well as a password. In case you type in the appropriate ones, you can continue browsing the content without having to do anything more. When the login details aren't right, however, you will see a message that you are not allowed to view the content. In case this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even though you may have a direct link. The option is quite useful if you wish to prohibit the access to some content or if you are developing an Internet site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

Creating a password-protected area shall take no more than several clicks and a few seconds when you host your Internet sites inside a web hosting account with us. You'll not need to do anything complicated - you will have to pick a domain/subdomain, to select which folder under it must be protected, and then to type in the login name and password that will be used to access that folder. If a number of people require their own login details, there will not be a problem to make a number of different usernames with access to the exact same folder. All protected folders shall appear with a padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you'll always know where this feature is active. If you would like to turn off the security function for any folder, you can deactivate it from the exact same section of the CP in which you have enabled it.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to shield any content that you have uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's part of, so you'll not need to input any code at any time. You'll simply need to choose one of the domains/subdomains which you have in the web hosting account and to determine which folder needs to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You can then type in the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be ready. The protection will be turned on right away, so anybody who attempts to access the recently protected folder will have to input the correct login info. When a number of people should be able to access the same content, you could make a separate username for each one.
