If you'd like to keep some content hidden from the public eye, you are able to enable password protection for a certain folder - either the main site folder or any other one below it. Whenever this feature is activated, a pop-up will appear anytime anyone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have protected the domain.com folder. In case the details aren't valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there isn't any way to get around this restriction, so you can be positive that no one shall be able access the protected content. The feature may be beneficial in various cases - if only a number of people need to be able to see certain files, if you are building an Internet site and you do not want people to see it before it's completed, and so on.

Password Protected Directories in Website Hosting

All of our website hosting packages include an exceptionally convenient tool which will permit you to protect any folder in your account from unauthorized access with only two clicks. Once you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you'll only have to navigate to the Password Protection section, to choose the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which needs to be protected - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password that have to be used to access the content in question. The function shall be turned on immediately, so in case you attempt to open the folder/website, you shall be prompted to enter the login details. You may create or remove numerous usernames for the same folder, if necessary. When you navigate to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be indicated by a small padlock icon.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to set up password protection for any content which you have inside your semi-dedicated server account. We have added an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel where you will be able to activate the feature with a number of mouse clicks and with no troubles, even if you are not quite tech-savvy. You'll only need to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the exact folder that should be protected (the main folder or a subfolder) as well as the login name and password. The protection shall take effect instantly, so if you make an effort to open the password-protected URL inside your browser, you will have to type the newly created login details before you can proceed. Additionally, you will be able to give different usernames for the same folder to a number of individuals, so you will not need to share the same login details with anybody. Each password-protected folder shall have a small padlock icon in the File Manager section, so you shall be able to recognize such folders with ease.
