If you wish to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you can enable password protection for a given folder - either the main website folder or a different one below it. If this option is active, a pop-up will appear each and every time anyone tries to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link which goes a few levels deeper, so login information will be required for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg if you have secured the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message will appear and there's no method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that nobody will be able to access the secured content. The option may be useful in a variety of situations - if only a number of individuals should be able to see certain files, if you work on a site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, and so forth.
Password Protected Directories in Website Hosting
With the password protection tool that comes with every single website hosting plan that we offer, you shall be able to shield any content that you have in your account with merely a few mouse clicks. Because the tool is an element of our revolutionary Hepsia CP, it has the exact same simple interface and you'll not require any special skills to use it. As soon as you visit the Password Protection section, you'll have to select one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose whether the protection should be active for the main folder or for a subfolder. Then input the username and the password that you want and you shall be set. A little padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a particular folder is password-protected. In the same way you'll be able to include several usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want 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 will be able to secure any content that you have uploaded by using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's a part of, so you'll not have to write any code at any time. You'll only need to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have in the hosting account and to select which folder has to be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. You may then input the username and the password, that'll be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you will be all set. The protection will be switched on instantly, so anybody who tries to access the newly secured folder will have to enter the correct login details. If several individuals should be able to access the exact same content, you could make a separate username for each.
