If you would like keep some content hidden from the public eye, you can activate password protection for a particular folder - either the main website folder or another one below it. When this feature is active, a pop-up will appear each and every time somebody attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details will be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the credentials aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there is no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be sure that no one will be able to access the secured content. The option can be beneficial in a number of cases - if only a number of individuals need to be able to see certain files, if you are building a website and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Shared Website Hosting

With the password protection tool that is included with every single shared website hosting package deal which we offer, you will be able to secure any content which you have in your account with only a few clicks. Since the tool is an element of our innovative Hepsia Control Panel, it provides the exact same simple interface and you shall not require any special skills to use it. Once you go to the Password Protection section, you will have to pick one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be switched on for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password you want and you'll be all set. A tiny padlock symbol inside the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the very same way you'll be able to add many usernames and passwords for the same folder if you would like several people to have their own login credentials.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to protect 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's a part of, so you will not have to enter any code at any time. You'll only have to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have in the website 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, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you shall be ready. The protection shall be activated at once, so anyone who tries to access the newly protected folder shall have to type in the correct login details. When several people should be able to access the exact same content, you could set up a separate username for each of them.
