A password-protected directory or area is a folder which could be accessed only when a username and a password are provided, so no unauthorized individuals can see its content. This function could be used for the primary folder of a given Internet site or only for a specific subfolder in accordance with your needs. For example, when you are creating a new website and you do not want people to see it before it is 100% ready, you might want to prohibit the access to it altogether, and if you need only some people to be able to access particular files, you could password-protect only a particular folder, while the rest of the website can be seen by everybody. Regardless, a “403 Forbidden” error page shall appear in case the login details the visitor inputs are not right. Even a direct link to a file won't work as long as any folder above it is password-protected.

Password Protected Directories in Hosting

With the password protection tool supplied with each and every hosting package that we offer, you'll be able to secure any content which you have inside your account with merely a few clicks. As the tool is part of our ground breaking Hepsia CP, it features the exact same uncomplicated interface and you shall not need any special skills to use it. When you check out the Password Protection section, you'll have to select one of the domains or subdomains you have in the account and then choose if the protection should be activated for the primary folder or for a subfolder. Then enter the username and the password that you'd like and you shall be all set to go. A small padlock symbol in the File Manager section will tell you that a certain folder is password-protected. In the same way you will be able to include numerous usernames and passwords for the same folder if you want several people to have their own login credentials.

Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall be able to secure any content which you have uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it's a part of, so you will not have to input any code at any time. You'll simply have to choose one of the domains/subdomains you have inside 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 good to go. The protection shall be turned on at once, so anyone that tries to access the freshly secured folder will have to type in the right login info. When several people should be able to access precisely the same content, you can create a separate username for each one.
