If you want to keep some content concealed from the public eye, you are able to switch on password protection for a certain folder - either the primary Internet site folder or another one below it. When this feature is enabled, a pop-up will appear every time anyone attempts to open the folder in question or clicks on a direct link that goes a few levels deeper, so login details shall be necessary for www.domain.com/folder/image.jpg in case you have secured just the domain.com folder. In case the details are not valid, a “403 Forbidden” message shall appear and there isn't any method of getting around this restriction, so you can be certain that no one shall be able access the secured content. The feature can be beneficial in a number of situations - if only a number of people need to be able to see certain files, if you are building an Internet site and you don't want people to see it prior to it being completed, etc.

Password Protected Directories in Web Hosting

If you use any of our web hosting solutions, you can set up password-protected areas effortlessly even if you don't have any experience with such matters. We've included a really easy-to-use point-and-click tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, supplied with all accounts, so you shall be able to secure any folder within a matter of seconds. You will have to choose a domain or a subdomain and the exact folder that should be secured (the primary one or a subfolder), and then to enter the username and password that will be used to access the folder in question in the future. Each protected folder shall have padlock icon inside the File Manager section, so you will be able to see easily what content is protected and what is not. When necessary, you can create a number of sets of login credentials for exactly the same folder.

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 that you've uploaded using our protection tool. Its interface is as simple and intuitive as that of the Hepsia CP it is part of, so you shall not have to input any code at any time. You'll only have to select one of the domains/subdomains you have in the web hosting account and to pick which folder must be password-protected - the website’s root folder or some folder below it. Then you can enter the username and the password, which will be stored in encrypted form in our system, and you'll be all set. The protection shall be enabled straightaway, so anyone that tries to access the recently protected folder will have to enter the correct login details. In cases where several people have to be able to open exactly the same content, you could make a separate username for each of them.
