A password-protected directory is a folder which cannot be accessed unless the proper login details are offered. This may be a whole website or only a single page that is situated in a subfolder. If you try to open this sort of a directory, you will see an Internet browser pop-up where you have to enter a username and also a password. In case you type the correct ones, you can continue exploring the content without having to do anything more. If the login credentials aren't right, however, you will see a note that you aren't permitted to look at the content. When this feature is active, you will not be able to open a file even if you have a direct link. The option is quite effective if you'd like to prohibit the access to some content or if you are creating a site and you don't want visitors to be able to access it before it's ready.

All of our hosting feature a really useful tool which will permit you to shield any folder inside your account from unauthorized access with only 2 mouse clicks. As soon as you log in to your Hepsia website hosting CP, you will just have to visit the Password Protection section, to select the main domain or subdomain, to specify the folder which should be secured - the root folder or some folder under it, and then to type the username and the password which have to be used to access the content in question. The function shall be active immediately, so if you make an effort to open the folder/website, you'll be prompted to type in the login details. You may create or remove multiple usernames for the very same folder, if required. When you go to the File Manager section, all password-protected folders will be shown with a tiny padlock icon.
Password Protected Directories in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to set up password protection for any content that you have in your semi-dedicated server account. We've included an easy-to-use tool to the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel using which you shall be able to enable the feature with a number of mouse clicks and with no difficulties, even if you're not quite tech-savvy. You will only have to pick the hostname (domain or subdomain), the particular folder which needs to be protected (the main folder or a subfolder) plus the login name and password. The protection will take effect immediately, so if you attempt to open the password-protected URL inside your web browser, you'll need to input the newly created login credentials before you can proceed. You'll also be able to give different usernames for the exact same folder to a number of people, so you will not have to share the same login credentials with everyone. Each password-protected folder will have a small padlock icon within the File Manager section, so you will be able to recognize such folders in no time.
